摘要:
A method for determining neurotransmitter levels and/or neurotransmitter receptor sensitivity in an individual, comprising: determining a taste recognition profile of the individual for at least one taste modality prior and subsequent to the administration of a pharmaceutical for increasing neurotransmission; comparing the taste recognition profiles to determine a change; and comparing that change with corresponding measurements from a comparative database to determine neurotransmitter levels and/or neurotransmitter receptor sensitivity in the individual. In addition, a sample of a taste modality is provided for use in a method of diagnosis of a psychiatric, neurological, psychosomatic or physical disorder in an individual.
