Abstract

The minor variations in the acuity of the senses of taste and olfaction which occur during the day bore no consistent relation to the presence or absence of hunger sensations and appetite (desire to eat). The abolition of appetite by D-amphetamine is paralleled by suppression of the accompanying hunger sensations, but is not related to any consistent change in the acuity of the gusto-olfactory senses.
