Taste Sensitivity to Linoleic Acid 1 Differences in Taste Sensitivity to Linoleic Acid between Male and Female Rats

Obesity is an increasingly serious health problem in the United States, as it is responsible for serious health problems and death. Obesity is linked to ingestion of dietary fats, therefore the identification of a component of dietary fats that may increase ingestion by orosensory stimulation represents a critically important step towards controlling fat intake. Fat is composed of a combination...

Brain Response to Aversive Taste for Investigating Taste Preference

To clarify the intrinsic food preference mechanism, we investigated brain neurophysiological responses to unpleasant gustatory stimuli using electroencephalogram (EEG) and near-infrared hemoencepalogram (NIR-HEG) simultaneously. A conventional delayed response task based on Go/Nogo paradigm was adopted to extract real brain response components from spontaneous background signals. We found exces...

Mouse taste buds release serotonin in response to taste stimuli.

Cell-to-cell interactions and synaptic integration may occur within taste buds prior to signals being exported from these peripheral sensory organs to the CNS (Roper, 1992; Kaya et al., 2004). In principle, these interactions could include chemical and electrical synapses between taste cells and synapses from taste cells to sensory afferent fibers. Knowing which transmitters are released at syn...

Evoked response to taste stimulations.

For the recording of gustatory evoked responses, the tip of a stimulator is pressed vertically on one side of the tongue until the trigger pulses are generated by a switch attached to the bottom of the stimulator. According to our results, no detectable response was observed in the absence of taste. The positive waves were distinguishable by using the technique of superimposition before averagi...
