1. Neurothrophins in the development of the gustatory system and teeth
Sammanfattning : Flavors of taste are detected by a set of microscopical cellular aggregates called the taste buds, present in different arrangements on the upper surface of the tongue and other areas in the mouth. Taste buds are chemosensors that can detect different taste qualities such as sweet, sour, bitter, salt and umami. LÄS MER
2. Drosophila Sensory Neuroethology
Sammanfattning : Animals, like humans, need to perceive their surroundings via their senses in order to make sensible behavioral decisions, reproduce successfully, and survive. Animals are equipped with audition, vision, thermosensation, hygrosensation, mechanosensation, magnetoception, gustation, and olfaction, which detects physical and chemical changes in their habitats.

3. Phagostimulatory dynamics of adenine nucleotides in mosquitoes : advancing a taste-based delivery method for vector control agents
Sammanfattning : The mosquitoes Aedes aegypti and Anopheles gambiae are vectors of major medical importance, incriminated in over half a million lives lost annually. While there has been significant focus on understanding the olfaction mechanisms underlying host-seeking in mosquitoes for the development of odour-based control tools, little is known about the mechanisms underlying gustation in blood feeding, the ultimate behaviour in the change of events leading up to disease transmission.

4. Computational Modelling of Early Olfactory Processing
Sammanfattning : Chemical sensing is believed to be the oldest sensory ability. The chemical senses, olfaction and gustation, developed to detect and analyze information in the form of air- or waterborne chemicals, to find food and mates, and to avoid danger. LÄS MER
