An analytical search for independent modalities of taste is presented. The correlation matrix between independent stimuli was calculated using data recorded from chorda tympani single fibres in rats (Erickson, Doetsch and Marchall 1965) assuming that specific taste sensations may be explained by an “across fibre pattern” input into gustatory primary afferents. The four main factors were first rotated since this number of factors would correspond to the common idea of four independent taste primaries; bitter, salty, sour and sweet. The corresponding re solution of stimuli on four factors was inadequate. However, by adding one more factor a striking separation on five factors was obtained. The salts used separated distinctly on two of the factors; the lithium and sodium salts on one, and the salts of the larger captions on the other. Sucrose, HCI and quinine-hydrochloride correlate heavily with one and only one of the three remaining factors. These five main factors account for 92.6 % of the variance in the material. The conclusion may be drawn that an across-fibre pattern contains taste modulicon sistent with the established concept of taste primaries, the primary referred to as salty, however, seems to consist of two independent moduli.
