Taste has been with us from the beginning of life. It's hard to imagine functioning without it, but where to look for its sources? The gustatory cortex is to blame for everything. It is located in the recess of the parietal lobe, near the postcentral gyrus, near the somatosensory cortex, where neuronal stimulation causes the perception of appropriate smells and tastes - explains Dr. Chłopicka. For scientists, this is important because knowing the areas of "genesis" of this sense, thanks to science it is possible to influence these places, which will help, for example, people with diabetes, who often have...

The next element to my project is a module on Transdisciplinary Practice. The main assumption is to base it on cooperation with someone who will bring a lot of key information to my project. In my project, the information I will obtain from Dr. Joanna Chłopicka will be necessary. dav Dr. Joanna Chłopicka is an employee of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Faculty of Pharmacy, Department of Bromatology. He is a senior lecturer with a PhD For the conversation with Dr. Chłopicka, I prepared several key questions: 1.What exactly is neurogastronomy and why has it become so popular in recent years? 2.Can neurogastronomy help people change...

The human sense of taste can be manipulated by color, shape and sound. According to the bromatologist, the main role in this part is played by the phenomenon known as synesthesia of sensations. Subconsciously, each of us associates a given taste with a specific color or shape, this is the power of our attitude and expectation.It is obvious that both the food and catering industries carefully use the work of scientists. While drinking coffee and eating chocolate in a place with lower lighting, the melody of Nocturne No. 2 in E flat major, Op. 9 by Fryderyk Chopin, one may get...

The most important apparatus in the culinary arts is not cutting-edge kitchen equipment or exotic ingredients; it is the senses. As neuroscientist Gordon Shepherd describes in Neurogastronomy, it's through the senses that we translate the size and configuration of volatile molecules into qualitative meaning, from biochemical into flavourful. In this succinct yet informative book, Shepherd distills more than 50 years of research — and the collective knowledge of scientists, gastronomes, chefs, anthropologists and artists — to improve our understanding of flavour. He describes the physiology and neuro-circuitry of eating in compelling detail, delving deeply into the brain's systems for flavour detection. After...

The term "neurogastronomy" was proposed and introduced to science by Gordon M. Shepherd, a neurobiologist and professor at the Yale School of Medicine (USA), who published an article in the journal "Nature" in 2006, in which he used the term "neurogastronomy" for the first time. Six years later, Shepherd published a book titled Neurogastronomy. Published by Columbia University Press, it resulted in the idea of establishing the International Society of Neurogastronomy (ISN) in 2014. The mission of ISN is to promote and develop neurogastronomy from both a scientific and health point of view, in order to improve the quality of...

Metaloplasty is a field describing the creation of decorations and artistic objects using metal. Her products can be everyday items such as lamps, candlesticks, ashtrays, signs and fences. Metaloplastic products will also include traditional decorations, i.e. sculptures, bas -reliefs and of course jewelry. Interestingly, some definitions consider metaloplasty to be the art of processing cold metals, which we can also call artistic locksmith. However, in a broader concept of metaloplasty, it includes hot metal treatment, including jewelry, artistic blacksmithing and many other factions known for hundreds of years. These include forging, bending, cutting, straightening, extrusion, patting, sawing, drilling, soldering, blacksmithing,...

Improves the digestive system.Water stored in copper vessels has a positive effectfor the work of the digestive system. Regular drinking of such water stimulates intestinal peristalsis, reduces inflammation and eliminates harmful bacteria. Copper helps cleanse the body of harmful toxins, and also supports the absorption of nutrients and food vitamins. It has a positive effect on blood pressure, reduces the content of triglycerides, and also supports the regulation of heart rate. It improves brain and nervous system.Copper as an element participates in the production of neurotransmitters. Is one of the trace elements,which is responsible for the proper functioning of the...

Recently, on the "Netflix" platform, I watched the Thai film "Hungry" (2023). It is actually a story about the differences between social classes. About halfway through the film, Chef Paul explains to Aoy (the main character) that what we eat reflects our social status, not the love with which it was prepared. The poor eat to literally survive, while the wealthy seek esoteric experiences in the kitchen - such as the ceremonial preparation of a golden calf and then feeding it to the event organizer from her finger. Aoy is an outsider in all this, brought in from the lowlands...
