Scientists have discovered that juvenile bottlenose dolphins have specialized receptors for detecting the fatty acids in ...

Juvenile dolphins were found to have specialized receptors for fatty acids on their tongues, offering new insights into their ...

There are five basic tastes the tongue can recognise, and for each of them there is a set of receptors that respond to this taste alone, like a set of locks that are opened by specific keys.

“Taste stimuli are detected by taste receptors in taste buds. You have small pink bumps on the tip of your tongue, which are fungiform papillae – these house taste buds”, explains Dr Qian ...
