Uncovering pharyngeal sour taste receptors in Drosophila melanogaster reveals a novel mechanism for detecting ingested carboxylic acids, expanding understanding of how insects internally sense and respond to appetitive tastants.

The spatial autocorrelation method Local Moran’s I was used for image segmentation to delineate pixel clusters representing congruous objects with fuzzy borders, in this case potassium ion channel clusters.

When exposed to prolonged stressful stimulation, rats start to emit long, frequency-unmodulated 44-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations, usually within the 35–50 kHz range, along with, previously described, long and unmodulated 22-kHz ultrasonic vocalizations.

Increasing semantic relationships with old information accelerates learning and enhances memory for new information and increases the likelihood of both old and new information being recalled together.

The subjective value of choice options changes during deliberation, and accounting for these changes improves predictions of choices, response times, and BOLD fMRI activity.
