A Multiple Goal Perspective on Eating Behavior
(2016)Although people frequently pursue multiple goals simultaneously, these goals often conflict with each other. For instance, consumers may have both a healthy eating goal and a goal to have an enjoyable eating experience. ... -
Analysis of the Drosophila Sugar Receptor Genes
(2009)Gustation, also known as taste perception, is critical for the survival of most animal species. The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster employs 68 different gustatory receptors (GRs) for the detection of sugars, bitter or ... -
SINGLE UNIT AND ENSEMBLE RESPONSE PROPERTIES OF THE GUSTATORY CORTEX IN THE AWAKE RAT
(2007-08-10)Most studies of gustatory coding have been performed in either anesthetized or awake, passively stimulated rats. In this dissertation the influences of behavioral state on gustatory processing in awake rats are described. ... -
The Drosophila Gustatory Receptor Genes: the Molecular Basis of Taste Perception and Coding
(2007-07-26)Discrimination between edible and contaminated foods is crucial for the survival of animals. In Drosophila, a family of gustatory receptors (GRs) expressed in taste neurons is thought to mediate the recognition of sugars ...
