Dietary salt induces taste desensitization via receptor internalization in Drosophila in a sexually dimorphic manner

Molecules and Cells
: Sodium homeostasis, which is critical for survival, includes mechanisms for regulating salt intake that integrate central neural pathways with the peripheral taste system.

Genome and transcriptome‐based identification and expression profiling of chemosensory gene families across developmental stages and tissues in Sirex noctilio (Hymenoptera: Siricidae)

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 270-283, June 2026.
The first draft genome of Sirex noctilio was produced. Fifteen S. noctilio transcriptomes were sequenced to study chemosensory gene expression patterns. SnocOR16 and SnocSNMP1 displayed tissue‐ and sex‐specific expression patterns. Abstract The Sirex woodwasp (Sirex noctilio; Hymenoptera: Siricidae) is among the most destructive invasive pests ...

A gustatory second-order neuron that connects sucrose-sensitive primary neurons and a distinct region of the gnathal ganglion in the Drosophila brain

, 2015
Although the gustatory system provides animals with sensory cues important for food choice and other critical behaviors, little is known about neural circuitry immediately following gustatory sensory neurons (GSNs).

Understanding Barriers to Participate in Specialized Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Experienced by People With Neuromuscular Diseases

Journal of Evaluation in Clinical Practice, Volume 32, Issue 4, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Rationale There are many types of neuromuscular diseases characterized by considerable variation in disease progression and functional abilities depending on the specific diagnosis, leading to an increased need for specialized rehabilitation across the lifespan.

An investigation into the function of single-neuron activity in the mesoaccumbens dopamine system of the rat

, 2012
The mesoaccumbens dopamine system has been implicated in many basic psychological processes (e.g. "wanting" and "liking") and illnesses (e.g. addiction, depression, schizophrenia).

Bee gustatory neurons encode sugar concentration as a coherent temporal pattern of spiking [PDF]

, 2017
PhD ThesisIndividual peripheral gustatory neurons in insects encode stimulus category (e.g. sweet, bitter) and concentration as a tonic rate of spiking that adapts with prolonged stimulation.

Occlusal Sensitivity to Articulating Foils in Patients With Temporomandibular Disorders and Healthy Controls

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, Volume 53, Issue 6, Page 1118-1126, June 2026.
Using articulating foils of varying thickness, occlusal tactile acuity was compared between patients with chronic painful temporomandibular disorders (TMDp) and healthy controls. TMDp patients showed enhanced detection of thinner foils and greater perceptual sensitivity, accompanied by a more liberal decision strategy, whereas higher frequencies of ...

Development of Anterior Gustatory Epithelia in the Palate and Tongue Requires Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor

, 2002
We characterized the gustatory phenotypes of neonatal mice having null mutations for epidermal growth factor receptor (egfr−/−), brain-derived neurotrophic factor (bdnf−/−), or both.

Loss of Striatal Bradykinin B2 Receptor Alters Anxiety and Motivational Behaviors in Male Mice

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 10, 31 May 2026.
Impaired signaling of the bradykinin B2 receptor (B2R) in dorsal striatal neurons decreases anxiety‐like behavior and sucrose preference while enhancing voluntary running in mice. These results reveal a novel role for B2R in dopaminergic circuits that modulate motivation and emotional behavior.

Gustatory neurons derived from epibranchial placodes are attracted to, and trophically supported by, taste bud-bearing endoderm in vitro

, 2003
Taste buds are multicellular receptor organs innervated by the VIIth, IXth, and Xth cranial nerves. In most vertebrates, taste buds differentiate after nerve fibers have reached the lingual epithelium, suggesting that nerves induce taste buds.
