Cooking like it’s the ‘last meal’: Inside the Operation Nanook kitchen in Cambridge Bay
In the extreme cold of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Canadian Armed Forces personnel have been testing heavy artillery and doing ice water dives and parachute jumps as part of Operation Nanook. But some officers in the hamlet are on a mission in the kitchen: to provide members with a taste of home.

Ontario got taste of spring but it was all a lie and 'strong' snowstorm could be next
I hope you enjoyed that brief taste of spring weather in Ontario this past weekend, because a taste is all we're going to get, as another potentially significant snowstorm looms just around the corner.Toronto temperatures climbed to a balmy 17 degrees C on Saturday, March 7, but that early blast of warm weather may prove ...

WIST Quotations Mar 4

A quotation from Madeleine L'Engle

We all practice some form of censorship. I practiced it simply by the books I had in the house when my children were little. If I am given a budget of $500 I will be practicing a form of censorship by the books I choose to buy with that limited amount of money, and the books I choose not to buy. But nobody said we were not allowed to have points of view. The exercise of personal taste is not the same thing as imposing personal opinion.

Reward taste conditioning in Drosophila

Animals tend to approach and consume food that is palatable, energetically advantageous, or nutritious. Although appetitive taste behavior is hardwired, it can be modulated by experience. Previously, we were able to suppress it by pairing appetitive tastants with aversive stimuli, such as bitter quinine.Here, we present a taste memory assay where a taste stimulus is paired with rewarding sugar intake. We tested an array of neutral or appetitive substances (conditioned stimulus, CS) and rewarding reinforcements (unconditioned stimulus, US), and determined optimal conditions for a robust and reliable Reward Taste Conditioning (RTC) assay. We ultimately used a moderate concentration of fructose as CS paired with a sweeter sucrose as US, allowing us to characterize the properties of the reinforcement and the resulting memory. We found that tight forward pairing of CS and US is necessary for memory formation, and repeated unpaired presentation of the CS extinguishes the memory. Without further interference, the memory is sustained for at least 60 minutes after training. We determined that genes involved in short-term memory and intact mushroom bodies are required for RTC.This assay is a fast and robust way to investigate the involvement of genes specific to reward taste learning, and to determine neuronal sub-types and the circuits involved in appetitive taste memory. Considering that the reward and aversive taste assays are designed to be very similar, it will allow for comparison between memories with opposite valence and further our understanding of the detailed neuronal architecture underlying acquired taste memories.
