MECHANISM. "5-HT and NA affect taste cell excitability by altering ion channel function. 5-HT modulates response in primary gustatory neurons."Serotonin and noradrenaline MOA. https://lnkd.in/eaetUhy View in LinkedIn

"PIEZOELECTRIC MATERIALS mimic the function of the cochlear sensory epithelium. Cochlear hair cells convert sound vibration into electrical potential, and loss of these cells diminishes auditory function." https://lnkd.in/eSZn2RU View in LinkedIn

DEPRESSION and anxiety also result in diminished appetite. There is considerable evidence that 5-HT and NA are involved in taste regulation at the level of the taste bud. https://lnkd.in/eaetUhy View in LinkedIn

BUG POWER. "The first of its kind to produce electricity by harnessing the piezoelectric properties of a biological material and could lead to devices that harness electrical energy from the vibrations of everyday tasks. By using viruses that convert mechanical energy into electricity." https://lnkd.in/e966GiP View in LinkedIn

HUMAN TASTE THRESHOLDS are modulated by serotonin (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA). While normally very stable, and genetically determined, taste thresholds can vary considerably in diseases such as depression and anxiety, and as such are very plastic. https://lnkd.in/eaetUhy View in LinkedIn

BUG POWER. "Scientists at the Berkeley Lab have developed a way to generate power using harmless viruses that convert mechanical energy into electricity." https://lnkd.in/e966GiP View in LinkedIn

DIPOLE. "This term shares a similarity with ferromagnetic, because the spontaneous polarisation can be reoriented by an external electric field, in the same way that magnetisation can be switched by magnetic field. This results in a hysteresis loop in the electrical polarisation, with a remanent polarisation at a zero applied field, and a reversible polarisation with an oppositely applied field in ferroelectrics." https://lnkd.in/eBe5QYb View in LinkedIn

THE DIPOLE MOMENT."Many current prospective nanomaterials for nanoelectronics, nanomedicine and biomedical applications, based on nanocrystals and liquid crystalline structures, as well on complex molecular, organic and biological structures, have a common feature: the dipole moment." https://lnkd.in/eBe5QYb View in LinkedIn

PIEZOELECTRICITY. "These phenomena are essential for many organic, biological molecules, and all living systems in our asymmetric universe." https://lnkd.in/eBe5QYb View in LinkedIn

PIEZO AND ORIENTATION. “Relations may exist between ferroelectricity, the formation of liquid crystals, and the generation of electric impulses in nerves and muscles. Ferroelectricity is an example of the general phenomenon in which a system can be switched between two states of orientation by the application of a force." https://lnkd.in/eBe5QYb View in LinkedIn
