Digital, three-dimensional average shaped atlas of the heliothis virescens brain with integrated gustatory and olfactory neurons

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2009
We use the moth Heliothis virescens as model organism for studying the neural network involved in chemosensory coding and learning. The constituent neurons are characterised by intracellular recordings combined with staining, resulting in a single neuron

Exploring the relationship between dietary patterns, eating behaviour and fat taste detection thresholds : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand [PDF]

, 2016
Background: Dietary pattern analysis provides a unique opportunity to explore combinations of food intake in conjunction with factors known to affect dietary intake. Fat taste sensitivity is an emerging correlate of dietary intake and, when impaired, has

Small molecules as arthropod kinin receptor antagonists, feeding modulators, or novel mosquitocidal agents

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A two‐pronged screen of small molecules – (1) on recombinant kinin receptor and (2) through topical application – identifies kinin receptor antagonists, feeding behavior modulators, and new mosquitocidal molecules. Abstract BACKGROUND Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes are primary vectors for numerous human and animal pathogens and ...

Dopaminergic and Non-Dopaminergic Value Systems in Conditioning and Outcome-Specific Revaluation [PDF]

, 2007
Animals are motivated to choose environmental options that can best satisfy current needs. To explain such choices, this paper introduces the MOTIVATOR (Matching Objects To Internal Values Triggers Option Revaluations) neural model.

Intercropping mitigates incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Intercropping reduces the incidence of the oilseed rape insect pest complex with a significant impact of the direct visual and physical disruption provided by the companion plant. Abstract BACKGROUND Oilseed rape (OSR, Brassica napus) is a major crop requiring numerous phytosanitary treatments.

Non-synaptic inhibition between grouped neurons in an olfactory circuit. [PDF]

, 2012
Diverse sensory organs, including mammalian taste buds and insect chemosensory sensilla, show a marked compartmentalization of receptor cells; however, the functional impact of this organization remains unclear.

Taste processing in Drosophila larvae. [PDF]

, 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.

THE INFLUENCE OF ANIONS ON THE ACTIVITY OF GUSTATORY RECEPTORS

The Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1958
(1) The influence of various anions on activity of gustatory receptors was investigated by adapting the tongue of a frog to modified anion-Ringer, in which all Cl was substituted for Br, I, NO3, SCN, SO4 and H2PO4.(2) Immediately after exchange of normal Ringer with one of these modified anion-Ringers the response of the tongue was not appreciably ...

Present and future downslope windstorms in the Scandinavian Mountains from a kilometre‐scale climate model

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Kilometre‐scale climate simulations for Scandinavia indicate the importance of high resolution for reproducing downslope windstorms (DWs). Scandinavian DWs on average induce a limited local warming but with large variability due to the region's complex orography.
