Using Your Five Sense Organs Well

The Physiology of Sense Organs

to the non-sporeforming anaerobes (Bacteroidaceae, anaerobic cocci, Lacto-bacteria and Corynebacteria, Actinomycetes). The book by Smith and Holdeman, published as part of the American Lecture Series in Clinical Microbiology, fills a void. Both authors have been working in the Anaerobic Bacteriology Laboratory at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute for years and draw on extensive experience, par...

Development of the Drosophila olfactory sense organs utilizes cell-cell interactions as well as lineage.

We have examined the mechanisms underlying the development of the olfactory sense organs on the third segment of the antenna of Drosophila. Our studies suggest that a novel developmental strategy is employed. Specification of the founder or precursor cell is not governed by the genes of the achaete-scute complex. Another basic helix-loop-helix encoding gene, atonal, is essential for determinati...

Making sense of the role of sense organs in trichotillomania

complexities that must be overcome by anyone who hopes to establish a career in research. Throughout our ascent of the academic ladder, we are rewarded largely for our individual achievements and abilities—intellect, insight, curiosity, creativity, dexterity at the bench, communication skills, and so on. Upon obtaining a measure of independence, however, we find that our success depends largely...

The labyrinthine sense organs of the frog.

A study of the macula and crista organs of the frog's labyrinth with the use of an improved method of histological preparation has shown these endings to be more complex than heretofore believed. The structure lying over the layer of sensory and supporting cells is not a single "gelatinous" body as commonly described, but consists of two distinct layers with separate functions. In all these end...
