Extended Data Fig. 2: Intensity coding of taste cues.
From: Mosquito taste responses to human and floral cues guide biting and feeding
a, Example traces of the increasing responses of labellar taste neurons to 0.1–100 mM concentrations of sucrose (SUC). Spikes are counted during the first 0.5 s of contact. b-e, Mean spike rate responses of each sensillum to increasing doses of sucrose, n = 5–23 biologically independent experiments (b), sodium chloride (NaCl), n = 6–15 biologically independent experiments (c) ammonium chloride (NH4Cl), n = 4–28 biologically independent experiments (d). e, Mean spike rate response of each sensillum to sodium L-Lactate (Na L-Lactate), n = 6–12 biologically independent experiments. Control firing rate observed with TCC solvent alone is subtracted from the tastant responses of each corresponding sensillum type in each panel. Error bars are ±SEM.
