Abstract
A new method was introduced for the quantitative evaluation of the effectiveness of rat repellent. With this new method experiments on cycloheximide was carried out. The repellency of cycloheximide was found to be due to its disagreeable taste. Using the electrophysiological method, the taste response to cycloheximide was recorded from the glossopharyngeal nerve.
