Transcriptional responses of Aedes aegypti chemosensory tissues in response to volatile DEET and citronella oil

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Aedes aegypti females were significantly repelled by both volatile DEET and citronella oil in comparison to control (ethanol‐exposed) mosquitoes. Global gene expression changes were largest in the mosquito mouthparts, with notable downregulation of the three subunits comprising the mosquito CO2 receptor (Gr1, 2 and 3).

Determining TrkB intracellular signalling pathways required for specific aspects of gustatory development [PDF]

, 2013
Neurotrophins BDNF and NT4 influence the development of the rodent gustatory system. Despite binding to the same receptor, TrkB, they have different roles. BDNF is chemo-attractive for gustatory neurons and regulates gustatory neuron targeting and number

Postnatal developmental changes in the laryngeal chemosensory cell clusters of rats

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Chemosensory cell clusters appeared in the rat larynx 2 days after birth and were already connected to afferent nerve fibers. Their number increased until 3 weeks of age, then stabilized while continuing to grow through the addition of new cells. Because their number reached a plateau around the time of weaning, their development may be linked to ...

An Odorant-Binding Protein Required for Suppression of Sweet Taste by Bitter Chemicals

, 2013
Animals often must decide whether or not to consume a diet that contains competing attractive and aversive compounds. Here, using the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, we describe a mechanism that influences this decision.

Odors drive feeding through gustatory receptor neurons in Drosophila

eLife
Odors are intimately tied to the taste system to aid food selection and determine the sensory experience of food. However, how smell and taste are integrated in the nervous system to drive feeding remains elusive.

Dreaming conundrum

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary Dreaming, a common yet mysterious cognitive phenomenon, is an involuntary process experienced by individuals during sleep. Although the fascination with dreams dates back to ancient times and gained therapeutic significance through psychoanalysis in the early twentieth century, its scientific investigation only gained momentum with the ...

Tarsal taste neuron activity and proboscis extension reflex in response to sugars and amino acids in Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)

, 2010
In adult female Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), the fifth tarsomere of the prothoracic legs bears 14 gustatory trichoid chemosensilla. These chemosensilla were characterized through electrophysiological experiments by stimulating with sucrose, glucose ...

Exploring the Association Between Complaints of Sensory Hypersensitivity and Sleep Disturbances After Acquired Brain Injury: A Cross‐Sectional Study

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep disturbances are prevalent after acquired brain injury and negatively affect quality of life. Sensory hypersensitivity may cause or exacerbate sleep disturbances, yet evidence on this relationship after acquired brain injury is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesised positive relationship between the severity ...

The roles of gustatory receptor neuron populations in modulation of Drosophila melanogaster naive courtship and courtship conditioning

, 2006
Although Drosophila melanogaster male courtship behavior involves multimodal sensory input, non-volatile cuticular hydrocarbons (CHs) on courtship target are thought to be crucial in both innate courtship behavior (Ferveur and Greenspan, 2000; Jallon and
