Soa genotype selectively affects mouse gustatory neural responses to sucrose octaacetate.
In mice, behavioral acceptance of the bitter compound sucrose octaacetate (SOA) depends on allelic variation of a single gene, Soa. The SW.B6-Soa(b)congenic mouse strain has the genetic background of an "SOA taster" SWR/J strain and an Soa-containing donor chromosome fragment from an "SOA nontaster" C57BL/6J strain. Using microsatellite markers polymorphic between the two parental strains, we d...
متن کاملBehavioral and neural responses of juvenile crayfish to moving shadows.
One of the most important decisions any animal has to make is how to respond to sensory cues that suggest an imminent attack by a predator. We measured behavioral and neural responses of juvenile crayfish to moving shadows of different velocities while the animals were searching for food. In all experiments, and independent of shadow velocity, each crayfish produced one of two discrete behavior...
متن کاملProposers’ Economic Status Affects Behavioral and Neural Responses to Unfairness
Economic status played an important role in the modulation of economic decision making. The present fMRI study aimed at investigating how economic status modulated behavioral and neural responses to unfairness in a modified Ultimatum Game (UG). During scanning, participants played as responders in the UG, and they were informed of the economic status of proposers before receiving offers. At the...
متن کاملSocial Norms Shift Behavioral and Neural Responses to Foods
Obesity contributes to 2.8 million deaths annually, making interventions to promote healthy eating critical. Although preliminary research suggests that social norms influence eating behavior, the underlying psychological and neural mechanisms of such conformity remain unexplored. We used fMRI to investigate whether group norms shift individuals' preferences for foods at both behavioral and neu...
متن کاملElectrical stimulation of neural tissue to evoke behavioral responses.
This review yields numerous conclusions. (1) Both unit recording and behavioral studies find that current activates neurons (i.e., cell bodies and axons) directly according to the square of the distance between the electrode and the neuron, and that the excitability of neurons can vary between 100 and 4000 microA/mm2 using a 0.2-ms cathodal pulse duration. (2) Currents as low as 10 microA, whic...
