Taste cells in taste buds of the mammalian tongue and oral cavity can detect five basic modalities: sweet, bitter, umami, salty, and sour. Each taste cell expresses distinct molecular sensors, such as G protein-coupled receptors or ion channels, which detect tastants (i.e., chemical stimuli that elicit taste sensation) and initiate an intracellular response that culminates in membrane depolariz...

Rosella flowers are able to provide a moisturizing and smoothing effect because they contain many substances that useful for the skin, rosella also synonymous with sour taste so it gives fresh sensation. In this study, ethanolic extract of used was at concentration 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 5%. This type research is experimental using pre-test post-test control group design. The sample flower lotion (Hibis...

All neural information resulting from chemical stimulation of taste buds in the oral cavity, pharynx and larynx travels via the facial (VII), glossopharyngeal (IX) and vagus (X) nerves to terminate in the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) in the brainstem. The NST is responsible for initial processing and distribution of chemosensory information. At higher relays in the central nervous system...

Burning Mouth Syndrome (BMS) is a chronic pain disorder with distressing symptoms. It is characterized by an absence of organic disease, yet a persistent burning and/or itching sensation in the oral cavity [1]. It mainly affects the tip and the anterior two-thirds of the tongue, although other areas, including the hard palate, lips and alveolar ridges, buccal mucosa and the floor of the mouth, ...

Behavioral experiments elucidated that newborn mammals must be able to distinguish differences of taste between preferable and aversive sapid solutions in order to continue their development (Steiner, 1973; Ganchrow et al., 1986). Such a gustatory function must depend on the development of taste buds both before and after birth. The appearance and maturation of taste buds are different among th...

objective: the aim of the present study was to evaluate unstimulated salivary flow rate and oral symptoms in menopausal women. materials and methods: a total of 200 individuals including 100 women in their menopause (case group) and 100 men in the same age range (control group) participated in this analytic descriptive investigation. none of the patients were being treated for any systemic dise...

SENSATION AND PERCEPTION provided the starting points for modern research into our mental processes. In the early nineteenth century the French philosopher Auguste Comte argued that the study of behavior should become a branch of the biological sciences and that the laws governing the mind should be derived from objective observation. Comte's new philosophy, which he called positivism, was infl...
