Topological and Functional Characterization of an Insect Gustatory Receptor [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Insect gustatory receptors are predicted to have a seven-transmembrane structure and are distantly related to insect olfactory receptors, which have an inverted topology compared with G-protein coupled receptors, including mammalian olfactory receptors ...

Molecular characterization of gustatory second-order neurons reveals integrative mechanisms of gustatory and metabolic information [PDF]
eLifeAnimals must balance the urgent need to find food during starvation with the critical necessity to avoid toxic substances to ensure their survival. In Drosophila, specialized Gustatory Receptors (GRs) expressed in Gustatory Receptor Neurons (GRNs) are ...

Aversive gustatory learning and perception in honey bees
Scientific Reports, 2018 Taste perception allows discriminating edible from non-edible items and is crucial for survival. In the honey bee, the gustatory sense has remained largely unexplored, as tastants have been traditionally used as reinforcements rather than as stimuli to ...

The Main Issues on Gustatory Aesthetics
CoSMO, 2015 This article presents the main issues on gustatory aesthetics, a field which appeared recently in the academic programms. As shown in the first part, gustatory aesthetics is about the non-metaphorical use of taste.

Optogenetic induction of appetitive and aversive taste memories in Drosophila
eLife, 2023 Tastes typically evoke innate behavioral responses that can be broadly categorized as acceptance or rejection. However, research in Drosophila melanogaster indicates that taste responses also exhibit plasticity through experience-dependent changes in ...

Drosophila gustatory projections are segregated by taste modality and connectivity
eLife, 2022 Gustatory sensory neurons detect caloric and harmful compounds in potential food and convey this information to the brain to inform feeding decisions. To examine the signals that gustatory neurons transmit and receive, we reconstructed gustatory axons ...

Taste quality and hunger interactions in a feeding sensorimotor circuit
eLife, 2022 Taste detection and hunger state dynamically regulate the decision to initiate feeding. To study how context-appropriate feeding decisions are generated, we combined synaptic resolution circuit reconstruction with targeted genetic access to specific ...
