Inhibitory Processes in Gustation
Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1969 AbstractDifferent salt and acid solutions were applied in pairs with a short intervening water rinse to the tongue of the cat while the summated chorda tympani nerve response was recorded. It was observed that the first exposure usually depressed the response to the following one.

Augmented gustation using electricity
Proceedings of the 2nd Augmented Human International Conference, 2011In this paper, we propose a method to augment gustation and increase the number of perceptible tastes. Electric taste is the sensation elicited upon stimulating the tongue with electric current. We used this phenomenon to convey information that humans cannot perceive with their tongue.

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, 2001
AbstractTaste is an essential component of flavour. Although taste carries fewer distinctive qualities than odour, it provides an essential base on which aroma builds to generate the widely varying flavour of our foods and beverages. The present review covers a wide range of perceptual/psychophysical topics on taste. The first section reviews the taste

Imaging of Olfaction and Gustation
Nutrition Reviews, 2004Positron emission tomographic (PET) scanning can be used to assess the cortical processing of responses to different odorants in man. The olfactory bulb receives the first projections on an ipsilateral basis from the nose, but then the cortex and the limbic system respond bilaterally.

The evolutionary success of most mammalian species results in part from their ability to efficiently select nutrients in order to maintain energy, fluid and temperature homeostasis. It is shown that efficient ingestive behavior depends on several structures located in the mammalian cortex.

Abstract A number of early Greek philosophers and naturalists discussed the sense of taste and the mechanisms thought to underlie it. One of the earliest was Alcmaeon, who lived in the fifth century B.C. He hypothesized that the tongue allowed taste particles to enter the sensorium through small pores on its surface.

Olfaction and gustation in coccids (coccoidea)
Experientia, 1971Nachweis, dass das 7. und 8. Antennensegment weiblicher Schildlause der ArtPlanococcus citri Geruchsrezeptoren tragt. Alkohol wird nicht mehr vermieden, wenn die beiden Antennensegmente amputiert werden. Indizien fur das Vorhandensein ausserlicher Kontakt-Chemorezeptoren konnten nicht erbracht werden.

Handbook of Olfaction and Gustation
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1995This monumental book overflows with wisdom. Richard Doty's historical perspective enlightens us as to the prevalence and meaning of perfumes in ancient societies. In the Book of Exodus, God instructs Moses to "make an altar to burn incense upon." Examples of the divine nature of odors abound in Greek mythology wherein the invention of perfume is ...

Olfaction and gustation in fish: an overview
Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, 1994Living in an aquatic environment, often devoid of light but rich in dissolved compounds, fish have highly developed chemosensory and chemical signalling systems. The olfactory and gustatory systems comprise the major chemosensory pathways. Despite considerable variations in structural organization of the peripheral olfactory organ throughout fish ...
