The Expression of Cannabinoid and Cannabinoid-Related Receptors on the Gustatory Cells of the Piglet Tongue

Molecules
The gustatory system is responsible for detecting and evaluating the palatability of the various chemicals present in food and beverages. Taste bud cells, located primarily on the tongue, communicate with the gustatory sensory neurons by means of ...

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioral response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]

, 2012
Conclusions: Our study presents evidence that Est-6 plays a role in the physiological and behavioral dynamics of sex pheromone response in Drosophila males and supports a role of Est-6 as an odorant-degrading enzyme (ODE) in male antennae.

Development of a molecular method for the rapid screening and identification of the three functionally relevant polymorphisms in the human TAS2R38 receptor gene in studies of sensitivity to the bitter taste of PROP [PDF]

, 2015
The objective of this work was to develop a rapid screening method to identify the three single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TAS2R38 gene, with the aim of providing a significant contribution to studies designed to assess sensitivity to the ...

Consumer Adoption of Internet of Things

Journal of Consumer Behaviour, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 673-693, March 2025.
ABSTRACT The Internet of Things (IoT), a pivotal technology in enhancing user connectivity, faces a paradox: its widespread potential yet limited consumer adoption. This study addresses this dichotomy by synthesizing a large‐scale meta‐analytic structural equation modeling (MASEM) and hierarchical linear meta‐analysis (HiLMA) of 2736 effect sizes from ...

Myoinhibitory peptide signaling modulates aversive gustatory learning in Caenorhabditis elegans.

PLoS Genetics, 2019
Aversive learning and memories are crucial for animals to avoid previously encountered stressful stimuli and thereby increase their chance of survival. Neuropeptides are essential signaling molecules in the brain and are emerging as important modulators ...

Physiological activation of human and mouse bitter taste receptors by bile acids

Communications Biology, 2023
Beside the oral cavity, bitter taste receptors are expressed in several non-gustatory tissues. Whether extra-oral bitter taste receptors function as sensors for endogenous agonists is unknown.

Ictal semiology in lateral temporal epilepsy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective We performed a systematic review of the ictal semiology of the lateral temporal lobe in focal epilepsy aiming to summarize the state‐of‐the‐art anatomo‐clinical correlations in the field and help guide interpretation of ictal semiology within the framework of pre‐surgical evaluation.

A complex relationship among chemical concentration, detection threshold and suprathreshold intensity of bitter compounds

, 2007
Detection thresholds and psychophysical curves were established for caffeine, quinine-HCl (QHCl), and propylthiouracil (PROP) in a sample of 33 subjects (28 female mean age 24 ± 4).

Characterization of the chemoreceptor repertoire of a highly specialized fly with comparisons to other Drosophila species

Genetics and Molecular Biology
To explore the diversity of scenarios in nature, animals have evolved tools to interact with different environmental conditions. Chemoreceptors are an important interface component and among them, olfactory receptors (ORs) and gustatory receptors (GRs ...
