🥔 Happy National Potato Day! Whether it’s fries, chips, or roasted wedges, your brain turns simple ingredients into satisfying experiences. From the scent of browning starches to the hit of salt and fat your chemosensory system transforms simple spuds into satisfying flavor.

🍺 It’s International Beer Day! That first sip of beer? It’s chemoreception at work! Bitterness from hops activates receptors on your tongue, while aromatic compounds rise up the back of your throat to your nose, creating that full flavor experience your brain really notices.

Why do some smells instantly make us recoil? AChemS member grad student Sarah Sniffen and PI Dan Wesson at University of Florida have uncovered how the brain learns to loathe odors — like the unforgettable stench of microwaved fish. www.nature.com/articles/s41... #AChemS

Repurposing these screw kits from my Scientifica patch clamp rigs for my kid’s lite brite pegs has been keeping him busy ❤️❤️

Flushed cheeks, racing hearts, nervous tummies - all the stuff of where emotion meets interoception (the feeling of what's happening in our bodies). Which brain region seems to be involved? You guessed it, Insula! It's Day 5 of Insula week; let's talk about emotion & interoception. (A thread).

I’m loving the distraction provided by these wonderful conversations about insula this week. Looking forward to tomorrow’s post!

Hi everyone, I’m a new asst prof at Ohio State; I work on neurobiological changes occurring in postnatal development in taste and feeding. I’ve been here for a while but am bad at posting and will continue to be bad at it. I’m devastated about the election result but glad to see you here.

From boxes to air table to this brand new patch clamp rig! I really enjoyed putting this thing together. And I’ve got another one to go so stay tuned for more rig pics.
