Psychophysical Measurement of Human Oral Experience

Visualization of lingual anatomy has revealed robust positive associations between PROP intensity, fungiform papilla density, and taste bud density (Bartoshuk, Duffy, and Miller 1994; Delwiche, Buletic, and Breslin 2001; Miller and Reedy 1990b; Zuniga, Davis, Englehardt, Miller, Schiffman, and Phillips 1993). Fungiform papillae are innervated by both CT and V (Gairns 1953), which accounts for the elevated taste and oral tactile sensations experienced by supertasters (e.g., Essick, Chopra, Guest, and McGlone 2003; Prutkin et al. 2000). Videomicroscopy of the tongue has also revealed some forms of oral sensory pathology. Human fungiform papillae and taste buds degenerate with lingual nerve damage (Zuniga, Chen, and Miller 1994; Zuniga, Chen, and Phillips 1997), but CT damage alone sacrifices taste buds while leaving fungiform papillae intact (Schwartz 1998). In individuals with taster genotypes and nontaster PROP ratings, high fungiform papilla counts signal anterior taste damage (e.g., Bartoshuk, Duffy, Chapo et al. 2004).

Clinical presentation: There are several erythematous plaques, depilated, curved, circinate, and usually painless, with a whitish and slightly elevated border (Figure 16.1). While the fungiform papilla remains intact and prominent, the filiform papilla peels off. The atrophic appearance is due to the loss of filiform papilla. The migratory aspect of the condition predominates, showing erythematous plaques that disappear from one place on the tongue, only to reappear in another. It may represent an atopic background, psoriasis, vitamin deficiencies, or hereditary factors. Occasionally, it is associated with glossodynia.
Unusual Inherited Pulmonary Diseases Which Provide Clues to Pulmonary Physiology and Function

In several autopsies no consistent abnormality of the central or peripheral nervous system has been found. Biopsies of the tongue have shown absence of fungiform papillae and taste buds [4]. The few biopsies of esophagus, rectum, and skin have not been definitely abnormal. Changes in the lungs have been consistent with recurrent infection.

The fungiform papillae are widely distributed among the filiform papillae and represented by two types which differ in shape and localization. The first type of fungiform papillae appeared small and triangular and was found on the lingual apex and lateral regions of the anterior part of the tongue. The second type appeared large and rounded and distributed on lateral edges of inter-molar tubercle of tongue. The taste buds appeared situated in concaved surfaces of fungiform papillae.
