Insect olfactory repellents: is there a gustatory contribution?

, 2014
(M.S.) -- Towson University, 2014.Insect repellents provide protection from biting insects including mosquitoes by affecting the olfactory system. As such, the majority of research carried out to understand the mechanisms behind insect repellency has ...

Pediatric sensorimotor cortical responsiveness to intracerebral stimulation during stereoelectroencephalographic monitoring: Age effects and area specificity

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective This study was undertaken to determine how age influences clinical responsiveness to intracerebral electrical stimulation (IES) in children across primary and secondary sensorimotor cortices and to assess age effects on response complexity and area‐specific responsiveness.

Taste cells depend on axon proximity to generate presynaptic sites.

PLoS ONE
The turnover and re-establishment of peripheral taste synapses is vital to maintain connectivity between primary taste receptor cells and the gustatory neurons which relay taste information from the tongue to the brain.

Trehalose sensitivity in Drosophila correlates with mutations in and expression of the gustatory receptor gene Gr5a

, 2001
Drosophila taste gene Tre is located on the distal X chromosome and controls gustatory sensitivity to a subset of sugars [1, 2]. Two adjacent, seven-transmembrane domain genes near the Tre locus are candidate genes for Tre.

Cognition in menopausal women

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Cognitive health in postmenopausal women is significantly affected by hormonal shifts, especially the drop in estrogen levels. This review explores the intricate relationship between menopause and cognitive functions across six domains: perception, attention, memory, language, executive functioning, and motor skills.

Macroscopic, Histological and Ultrastructural Features of the Tongue of the Anatolian Wild Boar (Sus scrofa libycus)

Microscopy Research and Technique, EarlyView.
Integrated macroscopic, histological, and ultrastructural analyses revealed five distinct lingual papillae types (filiform, fungiform, conical, foliate, and vallate) in the Anatolian wild boar (Sus scrofa libycus). Mechanical papillae showed marked structural specialization, while gustatory papillae exhibited region‐specific distribution of taste buds.
