TrkB expression and dependence divides gustatory neurons into three subpopulations
Neural Development, 2019 Background During development, gustatory (taste) neurons likely undergo numerous changes in morphology and expression prior to differentiation into maturity, but little is known this process or the factors that regulate it.

doublesex functions early and late in gustatory sense organ development. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Somatic sexual dimorphisms outside of the nervous system in Drosophila melanogaster are largely controlled by the male- and female-specific Doublesex transcription factors (DSX(M) and DSX(F), respectively).

Light and Hydrogen Peroxide Inhibit C. elegans Feeding through Gustatory Receptor Orthologs and Pharyngeal Neurons [PDF]
Neuron, 2015 While gustatory sensing of the five primary flavors (sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and savory) has been extensively studied, pathways that detect non-canonical taste stimuli remain relatively unexplored. In particular, while reactive oxygen species cause generalized damage to biological systems, no gustatory mechanism to prevent ingestion of such ...

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

Nature CommunicationsAnimals must sense and acclimatize to environmental temperatures for survival, yet their thermosensing mechanisms other than transient receptor potential (TRP) channels remain poorly understood.

Neuron-specific regulation of superoxide dismutase amid pathogen-induced gut dysbiosis
Redox Biology, 2018 Superoxide dismutase, an enzyme that converts superoxide into less-toxic hydrogen peroxide and oxygen, has been shown to mediate behavioral response to pathogens.

Journal of Vector Borne Diseases, 2016 Background & objectives: It is well reported that exhaled CO 2 and skin odour from human being assist female mosquitoes to locate human host. Basically, the receptors for this activity are expressed in cpA neurons.

Primary Culture of Gustatory Receptor Neurons from the Blowfly, Phormia regina [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2006 Flies provide a powerful model system for exploring signaling systems in gustatory receptor neurons (GRNs). To elucidate the cellular and molecular bases of these signaling systems, we sought to develop techniques to dissociate GRNs. We developed a primary culture of GRNs isolated from the labella of the blowfly, Phormia regina, 4-5 days after pupation.

Chemosensory Receptors in the Larval Maxilla of Papilio hospiton
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Among the butterflies of the genus Papilio (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae), Papilio hospiton (Géné) has a geographical distribution limited to the Mediterranean islands of Sardinia (Italy) and Corsica (France).
