Mushrooms are very appreciated as food in several countries and, besides their fine taste, they have great nutritional value as sources of essential fatty acids, minerals, proteins and biologically active metabolites. By the other hand, nonbasidiomycete filamentous fungi from several genera such as Rhizopus or Penicillium are commonly not associated with human diet. Nevertheless, these and othe...

The current research presented in this review is important for understanding the least well known sensory system of taste and broadening what is already known about gustatory neural coding. The ways in which we value food can be more fully understood through research of the neural coding from basic taste sensations into the forebrain insular cortex areas where we give meaning to the substances ...

This paper evaluates the sources of inventor motivation, their impacts on inventor productivity, and the interaction between intrinsic and extrinsic motivations using novel data from a survey of Japanese inventors on 5,278 patents conducted by Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) in 2007. Our study reveals that two intrinsic motives--satisfaction from contributing to scienc...

Brettanomyces (Brett) is an awkward, a yeast subject to much debate in the wine world. Brett changes taste profiles, but not any simple or stable way. In doing this, active agent making of wine, social construction taste/quality and experience drinking/expertise. This article draws on ongoing ethnographic auto-ethnographic research argue that Brett's entanglement relations with humans geographi...

This study aimed to replicate findings that alcohol consumption and positive implicit beer-related cognitions can be reduced using inhibitory control (IC) training, with the addition of an active training control. Frontal EEG asymmetry, an objective psychophysiological index of approach motivation, was used as a dependent measure to examine training outcomes. Participants were randomly assigned...
