Eastern Michigan University Foundation announces three major gifts from Faculty Emerita Jiu-Hwa Lo Upshur, Ph.D.
Touch and Taste
Research that studies the sensation in the oral cavity is the subject of a grant awarded to Joseph Breza, associate professor of neuroscience at Eastern Michigan University, and Robin Krimm, professor of anatomy and neurobiology at the University of Louisville. The National Institutes on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders awarded the $2,074,256 grant to conduct a five-year-long study on the sense of touch and how it interacts with the sense of taste. The goal is to identify orosensory neurons and determine their function in guiding food selection and feeding behavior.
