TASTE TRANSDUCTION
J.I. Glendinning et al., "A high-throughput screening procedure for identifying mice with aberrant taste and oromotor function," Chemical Senses, 27[5]:461-74, June 2002.
"Screening for taste transduction is particularly problematic because of the low throughput--lengthy duration and indirect nature--of the traditional 'two-bottle preference' assay. Glendinning et al. describe a faster and more accurate methodology to assay taste in mice and pave the way for analyzing the large number of transgenic mouse strains that are being generated in labs world-wide."

"Focal overexpression of mutant huntingtin in the adult rat striatum produces pathology with striking similarities to Huntington disease, including the massive ...
