The purpose of this work was to investigate the potential production of protein isolated (TQPI) to improve the quality of low-fat desserts. In this study, low-fat desserts incorporating TQPI (0, 1%, 3%, and 5%) were produced. The results indicated that as TQPI increased, protein content, acidity, b*, hardness, and water-holding capacity (WHC) increased. Dessert containing 5% TQPI exhibited the highest values of hardness (63.23 ± 1.46 g), adhesiveness (0.88 ± 0.19), gumminess (67.30 ± 1.41 g), chewiness (11.41 ± 0.46 mJ), protein content (18.09%), b*(20.75), WHC (50.65%), and acidity (25.9 °D) on the 21st day of the storage time. TQPI (1%) gave a better effect on taste, texture, and total acceptability in comparison with other fortified desserts. Electron microscopy shows that the fortified dessert containing 5% TQPI had a stronger network than the others. It can be concluded that desserts containing 1% TQPI presented a very good response as a potential new dairy product based on sensory properties.

Sensory-motor systems can extract statistical regularities in dynamic uncertain environments, enabling quicker responses and anticipatory behavior for expected events. Anticipatory smooth pursuit eye movements (aSP) have been observed in primates when the temporal and kinematic properties of a forthcoming visual moving target are fully or partially predictable. To investigate the nature of the internal model of target kinematics underlying aSP, we tested the effect of varying the target kinematics and its predictability.

Traditionally, the place-pitch 'tonotopically' organized auditory neural pathway was considered to be hard-wired. Cochlear implants restore hearing by arbitrarily mapping frequency-amplitude information. This study shows that recipients, after a long period of sound deprivation, preserve a level of auditory plasticity, enabling them to swiftly and concurrently learn speech understanding with two alternating, distinct frequency maps.

Neuroprosthetics equipped with artificial synapses hold promise to address some most intricate medical problems, such as human sensory disorders. Yet, it is necessitated and of paramount importance for neuroprosthetics to be able to differentiate significant and insignificant signals. Here, we present an information-filterable artificial retina system that integrates artificial synapses with a signal-integration device for signal perception and processing with attention.

The relative accessibility and simplicity of vestibular sensing and vestibular-driven control of head and eye movements has made the vestibular system an attractive subject to experimenters and theoreticians interested in developing realistic quantitative models of how brains gather and interpret sense data and use it to guide behavior. Head stabilization and eye counter-rotation driven by vestibular sensory input in response to rotational perturbations represent natural, ecologically important behaviors that can be reproduced in the laboratory and analyzed using relatively simple mathematical models. Models drawn from dynamical systems and control theory have previously been used to analyze the behavior of vestibular sensory neurons.

Chilled beef is a perishable food product. Due to the broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties of chitosan, and the biodegradability of PLLA, chitosan and PLLA are introduced double bonding groups to obtain Chitosan-graft-Glycidyl methacrylate (Cs-g-GMA) and Poly(L-lactic acid)-co-poly(butylene itaconate) (PLBI), respectively. Cs-g-GMA is then grafted onto the surface of PLBI films by UV curing to produce PLBI/Cs-g-GMA films with non-migratory, broad-spectrum antimicrobial, biodegradable, and possess good oxygen barrier properties, compared to current antimicrobial films.
