This image shows taste buds with glial-like cells (white) ensheathing chemosensory receptor cells labeled with GFP (green). Afferent fibers are labeled with mScarlet (red). These three elements (receptor cell, nerve fiber, and glia) potentially form a tripartite synapse, capable of modulating the sensory signal in the taste periphery.
