A pilot study has developed a new sensory evaluation method that links the chemical structures of polyphenols with their distinct taste properties. Using trained human panelists, researchers showed ...

Hemipteran insects possess a diverse array of sensory structures and intricately adapted mouthparts that underpin their remarkable ecological versatility. Their sensory organs, including antennal and ...

Revealing the genetic, developmental and anatomical basis of natural selection for sensory structures in a mammal -- UMass Amherst and other biologists begin first integrated view of sensory ...

A queen in a paperwasp colony largely stays in the dark. The worker wasps, who fly outside to seek food and building materials, see much more of the world around them. A new study indicates that the ...

Researchers at the Michael Sars Centre at the University of Bergen have produced the first complete 3D reconstruction of the comb jelly’s aboral organ, a small sensory structure long dismissed as ...

On this photograph, an adult specimen of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi is seen from above. In the centre of the image, it is possible to distinguish the aboral organ, a complex sensory structure.

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
