Rat Gustatory Neurons in the Geniculate Ganglion Express Glutamate Receptor Subunits [PDF]
Chemical Senses, 2004 Taste receptor cells are innervated by primary gustatory neurons that relay sensory information to the central nervous system. The transmitter(s) at synapses between taste receptor cells and primary afferent fibers is (are) not yet known. By analogy with other sensory organs, glutamate might a transmitter in taste buds. We examined the presence of AMPA

Midline crossing by gustatory receptor neuron axons is regulated byfruitless, doublesexand the Roundabout receptors [PDF]
Development, 2010 Although nervous system sexual dimorphisms are known in many species, relatively little is understood about the molecular mechanisms generating these dimorphisms. Recent findings in Drosophila provide the tools for dissecting how neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation are modulated by the Drosophila sex-determination regulatory genes to produce ...

Drosophila TRPA1 channel mediates chemical avoidance in gustatory receptor neurons [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2010 Mammalian sweet, bitter, and umami taste is mediated by a single transduction pathway that includes a phospholipase C (PLC)β and one cation channel, TRPM5. However, in insects such as the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster , it is unclear whether different tastants, such as bitter compounds, are sensed in gustatory ...

PLoS ONE, 2023 Carbon dioxide (CO2) is an important olfactory cue in Drosophila melanogaster and can elicit both attractive and aversive behaviors. It is detected by gustatory receptors, Gr21a and Gr63a, found in the ab1C neuron in basiconic sensilla on the third ...

Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Olfactory and gustatory systems play an irreplaceable role in all cycles of growth of insects, such as host location, mating, and oviposition. Many chemosensory genes in many nocturnal moths have been identified via omics technology, but knowledge of ...

The whole body transcriptome of Coleophora obducta reveals important olfactory proteins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Background The tiny casebearer moth Coleophora obducta, an important defoliator of Larix spp., is a major threat to ecological security in north China. Studies have shown that C. obducta is strongly specific to host plants; it is unable complete its life

The gustatory system influences "Drosophila" lifespan [PDF]
, 2011 The lifespan of an organism is affected by the complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. In C. elegans, this interaction between genes and environment is mediated by the sensory system.

Molecules and cells, 2020 The Gustatory system enables animals to detect toxic bitter chemicals, which is critical for insects to survive food induced toxicity. Cucurbitacin is widely present in plants such as cucumber and gourds that acts as an anti-herbivore chemical and an insecticide. Cucurbitacin has a harmful effect on insect larvae as well.

Input-driven components of spike-frequency adaptation can be unmasked in vivo [PDF]
, 2004 Spike-frequency adaptation affects the response characteristics of many sensory neurons, and different biophysical processes contribute to this phenomenon.
