The perception of taste is not merely a matter of detecting a chemical stimulus; it involves a sophisticated network of neural circuits that integrate sensory inputs from taste receptors, olfactory ...

The suitability of various nectar and honeydew sugars as a food source for the polyphagous ant species M. rubra (L.) was studied. The sugars used included monosaccharides (fructose, glucose, galactose ...

Researchers have developed a new technique that will help scientists better understand the genes that govern food-related behavior in honey bees. On July 25th JoVE, the Journal of Visualized ...

STONY BROOK, NY, November 12, 2020 - What happens in our brain that makes us experience the sweet taste of a donut or the bitter taste of tonic water? What are the patterns of neural activity ...

For most of us, the boundaries between our bodily senses are clear-cut and rigid. But for a few rare individuals, the demarcation between vision and hearing, or between taste and touch, are less solid ...

What happens in our brain that makes us experience the sweet taste of a donut or the bitter taste of tonic water? What are the patterns of neural activity responsible for the perception of taste? A ...

On July 25th JoVE, the Journal of Visualized Experiments will publish a new technique that will help scientists better understand the genes that govern food-related behavior in honey bees. The impact ...
