Olfactory, Taste, and Photo Sensory Receptors in Non-sensory Organs: It Just Makes Sense
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 Sensory receptors that detect and respond to light, taste, and smell primarily belong to the G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) superfamily. In addition to their established roles in the nose, tongue, and eyes, these sensory GPCRs have been found in many ‘

The Locus Coeruleus‐Periaqueductal Gray GABAergic Projection Regulates Comorbid Pain and Depression
Advanced Science, EarlyView.LC‐GABA neurons exhibit elevated activity to noxious and aversive stimuli in chronic pain, and their activation alleviates pain‐ and depression‐like behaviors. While LC‐GABA neurons target LC‐NA neurons and GABA and Glu neurons in the vlPAG, they modulate the pain responses of LC‐NA neurons but regulate pain‐ and depression‐like behaviors through their

Two-component cyclase opsins of green algae are ATP-dependent and light-inhibited guanylyl cyclases
BMC Biology, 2018 The green algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and Volvox carteri are important models for studying light perception and response, expressing many different photoreceptors. More than 10 opsins were reported in C.

Long-wave opsin involved in body color plastic development in Nilaparvata lugens
BMC Genomics, 2023 Background As one of the components of visual photopigments in photoreceptor cells, opsin exhibits different spectral peaks and plays crucial roles in visual function. Besides, it is discovered to evolve other functions despite color vision.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The integration of sensing elements in bioengineered actuators is key to obtain real‐time information about their performance and further control/automation. By coupling flexible organic field‐effect transistor to a skeletal muscle actuator we demonstrate the feasibility to record in real‐time its contractile behavior when stimulated by electrical ...

EVOLUTION OF THE CIRCADIAN CLOCK IN EXTREME ENVIRONMENT: LESSONS FROM CAVEFISH. [PDF]
, 2010 Evolution has been strongly influenced by the daily cycles of temperature and light imposed by the rotation of the Earth. Fascinating demonstrations of this are seen in extreme environments such as caves where some animals have remained completely ...

A low-cost hyperspectral scanner for natural imaging and the study of animal colour vision above and under water [PDF]
, 2019 Hyperspectral imaging is a widely used technology for industrial and scientific purposes, but the high cost and large size of commercial setups have made them impractical for most basic research.
