Why do taste cells generate action potentials?

Taste cells regularly generate action potentials, but their functional significance in taste signaling is unclear. A paper in BMC Neuroscience reveals the identity of the voltage-gated Na(+ )channels underlying action potentials, providing the foundation for insights into their function.
