SHORT COMMUNICATION Influence of Stimulus Duration on a Regional Measure of NaCI Taste Sensitivity
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present study demonstrates that perithreshold temporal integration occurs in the human taste system across stimulus durations ranging from 200 to 1500 ms in a manner analogous to that seen in other major sensory systems. Thus, the notion that gustation is comparatively insensitive to temporal stimulus parameters at threshold levels is disproved. Chem. Senses 22: 171-175,1997.

Evaluation of short term rainfall analysis methods (Case Study: Shahrekord station)
Determination of maximum rivers flow resulted from surface runoff in watersheds without adequate hydrometric records is based on rainfall-runoff models. The short duration rainfalls are one of the basic elements to apply these models. The access to quantitative and intrinsic worth storm data is restricted around the word and in Iran too. There are several empirical and statistical methods to es...
متن کاملEffects of a pressure surround on the regional taste detection threshold for sodium chloride.
The question as to whether tactile stimulation alters proximal taste function in humans has never been answered, despite the suggestion of anatomical and physiological associations between somatosensory and gustatory function in a number of species. In this study, we established NaCl detection thresholds for a 25 mm2 anterior tongue region on four test occasions in each of 12 men and 12 women. ...

Introduction : Obesity is one of the most common causes of mortality in the world while the population of the obese people is increasing. Taste sense is a determinative factor in nutritional manner. From literature review it seems that body weight has positive correlation to personal sensitivity to sweet taste. Aim: Regarding the high rate of obesity in our community, effect of carbohydrate...
متن کاملChorda tympani nerve transection impairs the gustatory detection of free fatty acids in male and female rats.
Sprague-Dawley rats with intact (SHAM) and bilaterally transected chorda tympani nerves (CTX) received conditioned taste aversions (CTAs) to the free fatty acids (FFAs), linoleic and oleic acid, at micromolar quantities. Two-bottle preference tests showed that CTX eliminated avoidance of 88 muM linoleic acid but did not affect CTA avoidance of corn oil or 250 mM sucrose. Short-duration stimulus...
