Rapid hormonal rise in honey bees due to heat‐shock is mitigated by a primer pheromone
Insect Science, EarlyView.We show that honey bee foragers increased juvenile hormone (JH) titers significantly after heat‐shocked for 1 h at 40 °C, but this increase is dependent on social conditions. Increase of JH titers only happened when bees were isolated (one worker bee per vial) but not in groups.

The nonclassical mereology of olfactory experiences [PDF]
, 2019 While there is a growing philosophical interest in analysing olfactory experiences, the mereological structure of odours considered in respect of how they are perceptually experienced has not yet been extensively investigated.

Can We Talk About Fetal Consciousness?
Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aim This mini‐review examines research on fetal consciousness, focusing on whether it can be empirically assessed or remains primarily a philosophical construct. Methods A review of theoretical frameworks was conducted. Behavioural evidence from studies of prenatal sensory responsiveness is evaluated, with particular attention to whether ...

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Investigating the Effect of Tumour Necrosis Factor Antagonist on Olfaction
Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Tumour Necrosis factor antagonists is a potent anti‐inflammatory medication and has shown to improve olfactory function in murine models. The primary aim was to determine the effect of TNF antagonists on olfactory performance in humans.

Applying a new version of the Brazilian-Portuguese UPSIT smell test in Brazil [PDF]
, 2010 Standardized olfactory tests are now available to quantitatively assess disorders of olfaction. A Brazilian-Portuguese version of the University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test (UPSIT) is currently being developed specifically for the Brazilian

Smell and Taste Disorder Impact on Eating Habits: A Cross‐Sectional Observational Study
Clinical Otolaryngology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Smell and Taste disorders (SATDs) are underreported. There is a wide range of aetiology but recently we have seen growing prevalence related to Covid‐19 infection. SATDs have broad implications for people's lives, including a significant impact on nutritional intake and eating behaviours, which we further explore here.

Intranasal sodium citrate solution improves olfaction in post-viral hyposmia [PDF]
, 2016 Background: Calcium plays an integral role in olfactory signal transduction, including feedback inhibition. Sodium citrate acts as a calcium sequestrant and when applied intranasally, reduces free calcium available for feedback inhibition, which should ...

A New Experimental Setup to Study the Olfactory Behaviour of Trichogramma Egg Parasitoids
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.We developed an experimental setup to assess odor‐induced egg‐laying behavior in tiny egg‐parasitoid wasps. This Y‐shaped olfactometer, coupled with an AI‐based image‐recognition model, automatically quantifies egg parasitism by Trichogramma wasps. Olfactory‐driven egg‐laying preferences were analyzed using Bayesian inference.

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.Yeasts that specialize in flower nectar play an important role in pollination ecology. Metschnikowia reukaufii and Metschnikowia koreensis were the most prevalent nectar yeasts found in our field sites. Bee pollinators exhibited different behavioural responses to nectar yeasts in field experiments. Bees visited more flowers with M.
