Page 281 Allomones are defensive chemicals used by many small and slow moving animals for protection against predators. These irritant chemical mixtures are widespread in arthropods and often contain aldehydes as constituents such as (E)-2-alkenals which contain a double bond between the alpha and beta carbon atoms. The chain lengths of these repellents can vary in chain length which is in the ...

Page 515 Taste signaling crucially involves ATP released from oral taste buds and P2X2/P2X3 purinergic receptors present on afferent sensory fibers which terminate in the central rostral nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS). A number of somatosensory trigeminal neurons devoid of P2X2 expression terminate in the lateral rostral NTS. Breza and Travers now analyzed P2X2 receptor expression on afferent...

Page 721 IgG4-related disease (RD) is a newly recognized systemic disease characterized by high serum IgG4 levels that affects multiple organs including salivary glands and the nasal and paranasal sinuses. Accordingly, many IgG4-RD patients complain about olfactory dysfunction. Yagi-Nakanishi et al have now investigated olfactory function in these patients. More than 50% of the patients suffere...

Page 415 The pig olfactory system is understudied despite the fact that these animals represent a good model of human physiology and possess an exquisitely sensitive sense of smell. Brunjes et al now provide an overview of the pig olfactory system including Nissl, myelin and Golgi stains. Moreover, they used confocal microscopy to examine projection neurons and GABAergic local circuit neurons t...

Page 567 Altered stimulus perception caused by a previous stimulus presentation is referred to as priming. Whereas crossmodal priming is comparatively well studied, intramodal priming received less attention. HoffmannHensel and Freiherr now recorded skin conductance as well as breathing data and measured reaction times for olfactory tasks. These recordings revealed that negative odors were more...
