Mean ±se corrected hit rate for NaCl detection in a two-response taste detection task for groups of rats fed different dietary levels of NaCl. Open symbols represent performance when all solutions even water were adulterated with tasteless amiloride hydrochloride (100 μM), an epithelial sodium channel blocker. Closed symbols are without amiloride. Although dietary NaCl had no effect on performance, amiloride shifted the psychometric taste sensitivity function by about one order of magnitude to the right.
