Joseph G. Brand is a biologist currently at Monell Chemical Senses Center. In 1985, Brand discovered that the substance amiloride is an inhibitor of sodium when present in the epithelia of rats.[1] Subsequently in 2005, Brand and Xia Li discovered that cats did not have a functioning sweet taste receptor, because it was made obsolete by evolution.
