Figure Lengend Snippet: Data were collected using an automated gustometer. A single trial with an individual concentration began with an opened shutter and 5 sec access to the drinking spout. The intertrial interval was 8 secs. There was a maximum of 105 spout-exposures trials for each taste stimulus. The mean number of licks for each concentration for each mouse is the mean value for 15 trials. Water is 0M on the x-axis. The taste responsivity for A: sucrose, B: fructose, C: sodium chloride, D: monosodium glutamate, E: alanine, F: citric acid, and G: quinine in En2 +/+ (WT; closed squares, n = 7) and En2 −/− (KO; open circles, n = 16) mice. * indicates p < 0.05 post-hoc testing differences from WT for an individual concentration. # indicates p < 0.05 planned comparison testing differences from WT for an individual concentration.

Article Snippet: An automated gustometer (Davis Rig; Dilog Instruments, Tallahassee, Florida) was used to measure the number of licks for the different concentrations of taste stimuli for each animal [ 24 ] [ 26 ] [ 27 ].
