Molecular and Cellular Organization of Taste Neurons in Adult Drosophila Pharynx
Summary: The Drosophila pharyngeal taste organs are poorly characterized despite their location at important sites for monitoring food quality. Functional analysis of pharyngeal neurons has been hindered by the paucity of molecular tools to manipulate ...

GLP‐1 Receptor Agonists and Weight Loss: A Critical Review of Mechanisms
ABSTRACT GLP‐1 receptor agonist medications have the potential to promote marked weight loss, but maximal and sustained benefit may be compromised by poor compliance and cessation of use. Development of next‐generation medications that address current obstacles to effective use and development of effective adjunct treatments will benefit from better ...

In taste buds, the GPCR heterodimer TAS1R2+TAS1R3, is considered the canonical taste receptor for sugars and non-caloric sweeteners. Nevertheless, evidence has accumulated for the presence of an alternative non-canonical transduction pathway that detects

A carboxylesterase, Esterase-6, modulates sensory physiological and behavioural response dynamics to pheromone in Drosophila [PDF]
Background: Insects respond to the spatial and temporal dynamics of a pheromone plume, which implies not only a strong response to"odor on", but also to"odor off". This requires mechanisms geared toward a fast signal termination.

Taste and Smell Disturbances Associated With Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency: A Case Report
ABSTRACT Background Adrenal insufficiency often presents with nonspecific symptoms, impeding early diagnosis. Taste and smell disturbances are rarely recognized as presenting features. Case Presentation We report the case of a 54‐year‐old man with a 3‐month history of persistent taste and smell disturbances accompanied by fatigue, loss of appetite ...

Time Distributed Classification of Alzheimer's Disease on MRI Scans
Longitudinal MRI‐derived cortical thickness slopes improved AD/CN discrimination. A time‐distributed 3D ResNet‐101 + LSTM further captured spatiotemporal progression, reaching 96.7% accuracy and also improving MCI‐related classification. ABSTRACT The diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) has progressively depended on sophisticated neuroimaging methods ...

Insect olfactory repellents: is there a gustatory contribution?
(M.S.) -- Towson University, 2014.Insect repellents provide protection from biting insects including mosquitoes by affecting the olfactory system. As such, the majority of research carried out to understand the mechanisms behind insect repellency has ...

Molecular basis of fatty acid taste in Drosophila
Behavioral studies have established that Drosophila appetitive taste responses towards fatty acids are mediated by sweet sensing Gustatory Receptor Neurons (GRNs).

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 ...

Regulation of C. elegans Longevity by Specific Gustatory and Olfactory Neurons
The life span of C. elegans is extended by mutations that inhibit the function of sensory neurons. In this study, we show that specific subsets of sensory neurons influence longevity.
