3 External Chemoreception (Taste and Smell) -Taste ~ direct contact -Smell ~ distant signal source -Chemoreception very sensitive -Bombyx moth antenna example: Male responds to female pheromone at low [ ] of 1 molecule in 10 17! 5 Taste Chemoreception -Taste Usually oral cavity Some fish fins! 4-5 qualities: 1. Salt 2. Sour 3. Sweet 4. Bitter 5. Umami ( savory or meaty ) Salty Sour Sweet Differing Receptor Properties 7-17 Randall et al
4 Taste - microvilli - basal cells give rise to new receptor cells every 10 days 7-16 Randall et al Silverthorn 2001 human 8 4
5 10-15 Silverthorn Taste Facial nerve Outer tongue -Quasi Labelled lines - multiple receptor types/neuron Inner tongue 10 5
6 Smell 11 Smell/ Olfaction -1 Nasal Cavity -turbinates ( s.a.) -2 Vomeronasal organ -usually conspecific communication 7-19 Randall et al Randall et al
7 Smell/ Olfaction -Nasal and Vomeronasal: -Epithelial tissue origin -Cilia or Microvilli covered in mucus -Receptor proteins with 7-transmembrane helices -Coupled to G-protein cascade 7-21 Randall et al Smell/ Olfaction - Nasal and Vomeronasal: -Thousands of receptor proteins (general & special) -but different for nasal and vomeronasal -Receptor cells contain axons - Glomeruli in olfactory bulb/accessory olfactory bulb 7-21 Randall et al
8 Olfactory bulb (info processing in brain) Glomeruli (similar odor receptor synapses) axons Sensory neurons (~ odor specific) Mucus from epithelial glands dendrites
9 Olfactory Neurons In humans, 10 7 olfactory receptor neurons In dogs, 2x10 8 Human auditory nerve: 10 4 Human optic nerve: Study: Strippers Make More in Tips When Most 'Fertile' Thursday, October 04, 2007 A new study from the University of New Mexico found that, on average, strippers make the most money in tips during the most fertile days of their monthly cycles, Psychology Today reports. Researchers also found that women who take the birth control pill make less in tips overall than women who do not take the pill, $37 an hour versus $53 an hour, respectively. For their research, psychologist Geoffrey Miller and colleagues visited local gentlemen's clubs and counted tips made on lap dances. Dancers made about $70 an hour during their peak period of fertility, versus about $35 while menstruating and $50 in between. Researchers attributed the fluctuation in tips to the changes in body odor, waist-to-hip ratio and facial features that occur throughout a woman's cycle. 18 9
10 What is a FOVEA? Explain how the fovea compares among mammalian vision star-nose touch and bat hearing How is a fovea observable in the brain?
11 Vision 7-34 Randall et al FOCUS - light is focused by lens (and cornea) to create an image on the retina - refraction by cornea (85%) and by lens (15%) -alter focal length by altering shape and curvature of lens (zonular fibers and ciliary muscle sphincter ) - binocular convergence (both eyes on same part of retina) LIGHT INTENSITY - pupil for variable aperture via iris and radial muscle Randall et al
12 10-27 Silverthorn distant close Out of focus Silverthorn 2001 Humans lose ability to make lens round as we age
13 Vision ~ANATOMY - sclera white tough outer layer - choroid lots of blood vessels - pigment layer with photoreceptors - fovea where highest acuity and highest # cones -(visual streak?) TRANSDUCTION - photoreceptors (rods and cones) -Transduce photons (light) into electrical signal - rhodopsins (visual pigments) opsin (7-transmembrane lipoprotein) plus retinal (absorbs photon) 25 Vision Receptor Cells Rods and Cones -Dim light, low resolution -Bright light, high resolution 7-38 Randall et al
14 Blind Spot Silverthorn 2001 Rods and Cones 27 Rhodopsins (visual pigments) -located in stacked lamellae Membranes hyperpolarize in response to light Na + dark current 7-39 Randall et al When light hits, the Na + current into the cell is stopped and membrane hyperpolarizes stopping release of NT 28 14
15 Bleaching of retinal photoreceptors Expectation after 15 seconds? Photoreceptors called cones respond to particular wavelengths of light. Their response involves bleaching of their responsive pigment, so that for some seconds they are unable to respond again. 29 Bleaching of retinal photoreceptors Expectation after 15 seconds? Photoreceptors called cones respond to particular wavelengths of light. Their response involves bleaching of their responsive pigment, so that for some seconds they are unable to respond again
16 Bleaching of retinal photoreceptors Expectation after 15 seconds? Photoreceptors called cones respond to particular wavelengths of light. Their response involves bleaching of their responsive pigment, so that for some seconds they are unable to respond again. 31 Rod and Cone details Sensitivity vs. Acuity Action spectrum (where absorb light) Silverthorn (e.g., humans, fish) 5 (e.g,. birds) different photopigments (opsin varies, retinal ~same) Porphyropsins (different retinal) seem better than rhodopsins in freshwater 32 16
17 Rhodopsin 33 Rhodopsin mechanism: cis-->trans isomerization of retinal molecule activated 7-43 Randall et al Changes conformation of opsin molecule and therefore initiates transduction 34 17
18 7-44 Randall et al Activated retinal changes conformation of opsin molecule (opsin and retinal separate) and initiates transduction G-protein amplification Need to reconstitute the rhodopsin 7-45 Randall et al (night blindness) 35 Physiology Players Theatre -2 competing casts -Judge(s) -accuracy -enthusiasm 7-49 Randall et al Red vs. Green opsin Actors: 1. Photon 4. Transducin 7&8. Ion channel 2. Retinal 5. PDE 9. Cation (Na + ) 3. Opsin 6. cgmp Act I Photon enters stage right. Other players assembled within or near membrane. photo transduction... Dark current reduced as curtain closes

Other Cells Horizontal Bipolar Amacrine Ganglion Hill et al. 2004, Fig Horizontal Cells for lateral communication Bipolar Cells transfer information from Photoreceptors to Amacrine and Ganglia Cells Amacrine Cells act like a second layer of lateral communication and integration Ganglion Cell axons form the optic nerve and communicate retina information to CNS Rods and Cones synapse on BOTH Horizontal Cells & Bipolar Cells Lots of information processing before leave eye! 38 19
20 On-Center vs. Off-Center Hill et al. 2004, Fig Center vs. Surround 39 Lateral (info from surround) Straight-through (info from center) Combination allows for crisp edges in visual images. Hill et al. 2004, Fig
