Bitter Taste Disrupts Spatial Discrimination of Piperine-Evoked Burning Sensations: A Pilot Study
Biology, 2021 This study aimed to investigate the perceptual similarity between piperine-induced burning sensations and bitter taste using piperine-impregnated taste strips (PTS). This pilot study included 42 healthy participants.

Investigating the Link between Eating Attitudes, Taste and Odour Preferences and the Chemical Senses
Biology, 2023 Objectives: To examine if higher degrees of pathological eating attitudes in a non-clinical sample are associated with odour and taste perception and preferences based on psychophysical ratings.

Olfactory and Gustatory Supra-Threshold Sensitivities Are Linked to Ad Libitum Snack Choice
Foods, 2022 Snacking is a common eating habit in the modern food environment. Individual snack choices vary substantially, with sweet versus savoury snacks linked to differential health outcomes. The role of olfactory and gustatory sensitivities in snack choices and

Life, 2023 This research investigates how fourth-instar larvae of the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella, respond to plant secondary metabolites (sucrose, glucose, nicotine, and tannic acid) both in terms of gustatory electrophysiology and feeding behavior.

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.

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.

Insects, 2022 The chemical interactions of insects and host plants are shaping the evolution of chemosensory receptor gene families. However, the correlation between host range and chemoreceptor gene repertoire sizes is still elusive in Papilionidae.

Enhanced sweet taste perception in obesity: Joint analysis of gustatory data from multiple studies
Frontiers in Nutrition, 2022 IntroductionWhile sweet taste perception is a potential determinant of feeding behavior in obesity, the supporting evidence is inconsistent and is typically associated with methodological limitations.
