The Taste of Blood
… to reproduce, she must selectively seek the taste of blood and ignore the sweet taste of nectar. How does she flexibly modify her preference for the taste of blood to select the feeding program that satisfies her current metabolic needs? Here we investigated the syringe-like blood-feeding …

Appropriate Articulations of Taste: The (re)production of gender in contemporary youth taste cultures
This thesis explores gender in contemporary youth taste cultures, contributing to the academic field through its illumination of taste’s role in the (re)production of gender. We continue to see inequality on the basis of gender in contemporary society and thus this thesis provides a much needed …

Taste-Enabled Robotic Chef On Robots Learning to Cook from Taste Feedback and Human Demonstration
… The thesis also discusses the use of electronic taste as feedback in the cooking process, where the robot replicates a variation of a dish preferred by a human diner. It was also proven that replication of the chewing process improves electronic taste and allows better classification between …

Neuroanatomical Maps and Taste Reactivity to Sweet, Umami, and Bitter Taste in the PBN of C57BL/6J Mice
… Humans can distinguish at least five different taste qualities, sour, salty, bitter, sweet, and umami (the savory taste of certain amino acids). In neuroscience research, behavioral testing is used to measure the ability of rodents (including inbred mice) to discriminate between the different …

Peripheral Taste System in Inbred Mouse Strains
Taster and non-taster mice strains have been used extensively in animal taste research. Inbred mouse strains C57 and FVB have been proposed to be tasters, where as strains 129 and Balb/C are classified as non-tasters. Therefore, evaluating the peripheral taste system in these mice is of great …

Optogenetic examination of salt taste in mice
… designed to evaluate the hypothesis that Type I taste receptor cells play a critical role in the detection and transduction of sodium taste via of epithelial sodium channels (ENaCs). Experiment 1 validated the function of a simple and affordable behavioral apparatus (hardware and software) for …

Genetic Analysis of Taste in Homo Sapiens
There are many known taste receptors specific to each taste attribute. This thesis examines the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and copy number variations (CNVs) in known taste and taste pathway receptors TAS2R38, Gustin, and TRPM5 and for PROP (6-n-propylthiouracil) …

Elucidation of the epithelial sodium channel as a salt taste receptor candidate and search for novel salt taste receptor candidates
Salty taste has evolved to maintain electrolyte homeostasis, serving as a detector for salt containing food. In rodents, salty taste involves at least two transduction mechanisms. One is sensitive to the drug amiloride and specific for Na+, involving epithelial sodium channel (ENaC). A second …

The metacognitive cue of fluency on taste perception
… This thesis examined the effect of fluency on taste perception and demonstrated where the fluency created an advantage or disfluency created a disadvantage for taste evaluations. Experiment 1 examined the effect of perceptual fluency on taste perception. It was found that perceptual disfluency …
