Taste processing in Drosophila larvae [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2015 The sense of taste allows animals to detect chemical substances in their environment to initiate appropriate behaviors: to find food or a mate, to avoid hostile environments and predators.

Multimodal Information Processing and Associative Learning in the Insect Brain
Insects, 2022 The study of sensory systems in insects has a long-spanning history of almost an entire century. Olfaction, vision, and gustation are thoroughly researched in several robust insect models and new discoveries are made every day on the more elusive thermo-

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Chemosensation is essential for the survival of insects. Activities like searching for food, mating, and oviposition in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster are to a great extent governed by chemical cues detected via olfaction and gustation.

Gustation Genetics: Sweet Gustducin! [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2010 Two recent studies, the second of which is reported herein, provide evidence that genetic variation in the sweet receptor subunit, TAS1R3, and the second messenger, gustducin (GNAT3), affect the ability of people to correctly sort ascending concentrations of sucrose.

Perceiving and Knowing as Activities [PDF]
, 2016 According to the tradition of most empiricists, perception is the basis for all our knowledge (at least of the world). The tradition also assumes that perception by humans is a passive activity resulting in some static states pertaining perception and ...

Simultaneity judgment using olfactory-visual, visual-gustatory, and olfactory-gustatory combinations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Vision is a physical sense, whereas olfaction and gustation are chemical senses. Active sensing might function in vision, olfaction, and gustation, whereas passive sensing might function in vision and olfaction but not gustation.
