Sensory discrimination testing methodology selection based on beverage complexity
Sensory discrimination testing is a vital tool used by sensory professionals within the food industry. While many testing methods are available for selection, various methods have proven to differ in power. By utilizing a more powerful method, sensory professionals can limit the resources needed …

The Central Role of Cognition in Kant's Transcendental Deduction
… cognition is best understood as “rational sensory discrimination”: the capacity to discriminate sensory objects through the use of concepts and with a sensitivity to the normativity of reasons. My dissertation focuses on Kant’s starting assumption of the transcendental deduction, which I …

Estrategias de optimización de la calidad de vinos blancos en la D.O.Ca. Rioja
… different from the control wines. Sensory discrimination by triangular tests was variable according to the variety. The effects of the application of cryomaceration in the winemaking of white wines have been variable depending on the contact time between the must and the solid …

Behavioural principles underlying navigational decision-making in Drosophila melanogaster larvae
… survival depends on timely decisions informed by sensory information. Studies in humans and large model organisms have elucidated auxiliary roles of large brain regions in the evolution of such perceptual decisions. What remains challenging is acquiring a detailed understanding of the underlying …

The Octopaminergic Modulatory Circuitry of the Drosophila Larval Mushroom Body Calyx
… are neuromodulatory networks organised to adapt sensory discrimination for different contexts? I hypothesised that neurons within a sensory circuit express different neuromodulatory receptors for differential modulation. Here I aimed to use the simple and genetically amenable Drosophila larval …

Advancing Transcranial Focused Ultrasound for Noninvasive Neuromodulation of Human Cortex
… recordings and behavioral investigations of sensory discrimination performance. This dissertation also describes computational models used to investigate the insertion behavior of ultrasound across various tissues in the context of transcranial neuromodulation, as ultrasound's application for …

Using Flavor Chemistry, Sensory, and Texture to Determine Domestic Edamame Quality
… injury, and (3) volatile contributions to sensory characteristics. Sensory methods were utilized to (1) evaluate differences in perception of edamame with and without stink bug feeding injury, and (2) understand important sensory characteristics for domestic edamame. Volatile analysis …

The Diversity of Cortical Interneurons
… including decision making,motor planning, sensory discrimination, and memory consolidation. The cortical interneurons are key elements of the cortical system. These interneurons stabilize networks, but at the same time they also add non-linear effects to the excitatory system to make the …

Molecular and Functional Characterization of Pyramidal Cell Types in the Frontal Cortex of Mouse Brain
… such as decision-making, motor planning, sensory discrimination and memory consolidation. The cellular heterogeneity of the neocortex makes it difficult to understand the molecular and cellular substrate of cognition during normal brain function and disease related dysfunction. A deep …

Developing an in-depth understanding of the prevalence, risk factors and treatment recommendations for phantom limb pain, and patient-generated care priorities for people who have undergone lower limb amputations
… Behavioural Therapy, virtual reality training, sensory discrimination training, use of a functional prosthesis) treatments that were considered effective for managing PLP, and on two treatments [citalopram (60%) and Pulsed Radiofrequency Stimulation of the dorsal root ganglion (70%)] that were …

Octopaminergic Regulation of Olfactory Discrimination in the Drosophila Larval Mushroom Body Calyx
… brains are essential for memory formation. The sensory input region of the mushroom bodies, the calyx, processes information received from stereotypic olfactory input channels, the Projection Neurons (PNs). Mushroom body neurons, Kenyon cells (KCs), integrate these inputs through a combinatorial …

Somatosensory processing by rat medial pontomedullary reticular formation neurones : responses to innocuous and noxious thermal and mechanical stimuli
This work examines somatosensory processing in "giant" neurones of the medial pontomedullary reticular formation (PMRF) in the rat, with particular emphasis on the response to cutaneous thermal stimuli. Thermal test stimuli were employed as these were deemed to be more precisely quantifiable than …
