Drosophila Bitter Taste(s) [PDF]
, 2015 International audienceMost animals possess taste receptors neurons detecting potentially noxious compounds. In humans, the ligands which activate these neurons define a sensory space called ``bitter''. By extension, this term has been used in animals and

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.

Taste cells depend on axon proximity to generate presynaptic sites.
PLoS ONEThe 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.

Conservation of Olfactory Avoidance in Drosophila Species and Identification of Repellents for Drosophila suzukii. [PDF]
, 2015 Flying insects use olfaction to navigate towards fruits in complex odor environments with remarkable accuracy. Some fruits change odor profiles substantially during ripening and related species can prefer different stages.

A Drosophila DEG/ENaC Subunit Functions Specifically In Gustatory Neurons Required For Male Courtship Behavior [PDF]
, 2012 Detection of specific female pheromones stimulates courtship behavior in Drosophila melanogaster males, but the chemosensory molecules, cells, and mechanisms involved remain poorly understood.

Sugar-regulated cation channel formed by an insect gustatory receptor [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011 Insects sense the taste of foods and toxic compounds in their environment through the gustatory system. Genetic studies using fruit flies have suggested that putative seven-transmembrane gustatory receptors (Grs) expressed in gustatory sensory neurons are required for responses to specific tastants. We reconstituted sugar responses

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.The NSW and Australian Regional Climate Modelling Version 2.0 (NARCliM2.0) builds on NARCliM1.0 and 1.5 to deliver improved regional climate simulations. This study provides the first comprehensive evaluation of NARCliM2.0 against its predecessors, assessing individual model skill in reproducing mean and extreme climate.

Evidence for a role of glutamate as an efferent transmitter in taste buds
BMC Neuroscience, 2010 Background Glutamate has been proposed as a transmitter in the peripheral taste system in addition to its well-documented role as an umami taste stimulus.

Heterogeneous Expression of Drosophila Gustatory Receptors in Enteroendocrine Cells
PLoS ONE, 2011 The gastrointestinal tract is emerging as a major site of chemosensation in mammalian studies. Enteroendocrine cells are chemosensory cells in the gut which produce regulatory peptides in response to luminal contents to regulate gut physiology, food intake, and glucose homeostasis, among other possible functions.

Mapping the subgingival HerBiome and HisBiome over the human healthspan
Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.Abstract Background Understanding the intricate relationship between sex, age, and the oral microbiome is crucial for deciphering the onset and progression of numerous age‐related oral and systemic diseases. Methods Subgingival plaque was collected from 781 periodontally and systemically healthy females and 160 males spanning 0 to 80 years.
