--[[User:Z8600021|Mark Hill]] 09:59, 18 September 2012 (EST) This is a recent review on smell. http://jcb.rupress.org/content/191/3/443.full JCB content allows reuse.

Not for reuse but good reading - [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK55980 The Neurobiology of Olfaction]

==Group evaluation==

- The introduction is very good and brief --- although it does not tell the reader that it is about development of olfactory sense.

- The history section is immaculately done --- You have used a couple different sources and gone into enough detail about each historic background which tells me that you have thoroughly research this part.

- The development section is also very nicely done --- I like the layout of this section. Also the sentences are very clear and structure is easy to follow. There is a large section in week 6 which does not have any reference so you might want to fix that up. Same goes for week 7 abd week 8.

- When you start talking about anosmia it just abruptly follows normal function so you might want to add the heading “abnormal development”. It might even be a good idea to put normal function before normal development to put things in prespective.

- In Kallmann’s syndrome although it was very interesting to read, it is very heavy on genes which you have not addressed in the normal section portion. I do realise for some of them you have put a description as to what they do in normal development but see if you can integrate it with normal development too.

- It is also good to see that you have a diagnosis section and a treatment section too. It was very informative.

- Current research is well put together

Overall your project is looking pretty good….Just some minor formatting issues. The text is a little on the heavy side so some images especially in the development section will be good.

----------

The introduction was very interesting to read - 1000 genes related to olfactory system is amazing. The introduction isn't too long which is great. However, it would be good to include in text citations. Where did you get your information from?

The history section will look better if it was put into a table.

The 'Timeline of Development process' is excellent because it clearly presents so much information with respect to the time the differentiations took place. I can't wait to see the images though because some of the concepts were hard to understand without visual aids. For example, 'specialized areas in rostrolateral regions of head of olfactory placodes' - where is that on the embryo?

The normal function section was short. This is nice to see because this project is about development, not about the function. It would be good to include a diagram of the signaling pathway in this section, just to make it interesting.

The structure section needs a bit more information. Maybe put the olfactory bulb image in this section as it relates more to structure. You can also put some images of the cribiform plate in here too.

Abnormality section on Kallmann's syndrome was very well written. It had lots of detail, presented clearly in point form. Can you describe some of the other diseases in just as much detail as well? It just seems like Kallmann's syndrome is the main disease and there's not a lot of focus in other abnormalities.

In current research, 'the 'role of Odorant receptors' need to have some text and content in that section, not just the reference.

Page is well structured. Tables and images break up the information nicely. Some of the images lack an in depth explanation of what they depict/represent when you click on them. I know for some of the images it might be hard, but i think it would make for a more thorough way of presenting the information.
Not to much a critique, but you spend a large amount of time and space on the abnormalities section. When combined with the current research section and the images, only about a third of your page is information on olfaction. An even less of it is on the actual embryology when considering the timeline of discoveries and introduction. Try and draw out the embryology section a little further, considering the context of the website and who would be visiting it.

----

Your introduction is good and gives a brief overview of what the olfactory system entails. There were a few spelling mistakes, which can easily be corrected. Make sure you do tell the reader what you will be discussing on your page – development of the olfactory system and the particular subheadings you will focus on. The image could do with a few more labels for orientation, but besides that it complements the text and contains the correct citation, student template, etc.

The history section is good and quite extensively researched. Most groups will provide the history in a table, with dates in chronological order (to clearly show history and developing knowledge over time). This might be something to think about. I would suggest a ‘date – description – significant person’ type of format for a table. Good image, but it is displayed next to Pearson instead of Kollman. It is also difficult to see what it is and read the labels without opening the larger version, so you might want to increase its size slightly. Because this is a student image I would like to see the original – if possible provide a link to the Atlas of the Development of Man 2.
You should also explain what Kallmann’s Syndrome actually is, because this seems a little vague.

Your timeline of developmental process looks amazing and is enjoyable to read. Some of your words are printed in bold and link to the glossary. In one of your next sections the words link directly to the glossary, so you should probably do he same thing here. I really hope you can add pictures to this table to complement your text! Not quite sure what the line at the bottom (SINUSES:A:…) is doing there… either delete or expand upon this.

Structure: you only have a link here. Please provide text and image to explain the structure briefly. The YouTube link should be there to help the reader understand this section, instead of being the only thing this section is made up of. The video is not your own work, so please add your own work to this!

The normal function section was alright. It has some useful information in there, however, only a single reference listed at the end. It seemed like more references should be included within the paragraph. I would also include the fact that depolarization is an all-or-nothing response. The threshold needs to be reached for depolarization to occur, but there is no build-up over time to reach this threshold. It has to happen at that one instance. The links should be listed under the heading ‘external links’ or, if used as references, incorporated as proper references within the text. The olfactory bulb image is a little small and the description is quite brief. Though, good citation of the source and a student template is present.
I think the olfactory bulb image and the epithelium image should be included in the ‘structure’ section.

The abnormality section includes Kallmann’s syndrome and a quick definition has finally been provided! Please include this in the history section too. This section was a joy to read! Very interesting! A lot of effort has been put into the research and references have been done very well. I assume OB stands for olfactory bulb – please indicate this in the text. The dotpoints listed in the ‘clinical features’ section could do with a brief explanations instead of me having to scroll up and down between the text and the glossary. The image is excellent and shows a good simplified concept of what happens. Good descriptions, source citations, etc are added too. It was good to see diagnosis and treatment included.

Current research starts with a link, which seems quite random – include this in the external links section. You found some interesting and current research. References are only listed at the end of each paragraph, but should probably be included within as well. The image relates to one of the projects and descriptions are appropriate. Nothing has been added to the ‘role of odorant receptors’ though (apart from a reference). Please add a brief paragraph to this section.

Terms should be added to the glossary. The reference list also needs checking, because some are the same (eg. 11 & 12) and others do not have a reference (eg. 7 & 17).

Hope this helps!
--------

The introduction is quite small but very precise, indicating the function and the components of the olfactory system but maybe include one or two sentences in the introduction telling readers that it is actually about the development of the olfactory system, not just the function and components of it. After all, introduction is meant to show others what your project is about. The hand-drawn image there is very nice but maybe more information need to be provided other than just labelling parts of it. Along with the image, there are the important informations such as the copyright notice which is good to see.

The history of discoveries section is very well-researched but it will be easier to read if it was in a table. The timeline, i thought was very good because there are a lot of useful information about the development of olfaction which relates to the research topic. The developmental process is explained in quite simple terms but i notice some of the scientific terms in the timeline are not explained in the glossary, this makes it a little bit hard to understand the whole process. It is very interesting that a youtube link has been included in the structure section, this is really a good peer teaching but make sure you referenced the video correctly to avoid plagiarism. The section on Kallman's syndrome is quite interesting but the structure of that section is a bit messy, maybe try clarifying and tidy it up a lit. But i can see that a lot of research effort has been put into it which is good and the variety of resources used in the section is very broad. More images should be put here because right now, there is just a huge block of text in the section. Images will balance out the heavy text load and attract readers more.

The current research section contains a lot of useful information and it relates to the research topic well. Again, images should be put here because right now, there are just small blocks of text in the section without any images, this maybe a little bit boring for readers.

Overall, the project looks well-researched and relates pretty well to the research topic. The balance of the images and text still needs to be fixed but in terms of the text and information on the page, i think it is pretty sufficient and in-depth especially the timeline of development and current research section. There are some terms in the glossary which is good but maybe more terms should be added. The structure of the page is good, very easy to follow. There are a few external links which is always good to put there for anyone that are interested by the topic and want some further information about it. Referencing is good, there is only one minor citing error (no.7), but it should be easy to fix. Hope this helps :)

----

The introduction provides a good overview to the topic and the associated images have all the appropriate referencing information.

The history section is interesting and well researched with good use of subheadings.

The timeline of development is very useful and informative however is quite text-heavy, some diagrams may be able to help here.

The anatomy and normal function sections don't add very much to the page, especially in terms of embryological development. Adding more to these sections may help.

The abnormalities section is good, with a lot of information on Kallmann's syndrome, however other abnormalities (if there are any?) could be included to expand this section.

The current research section contains a lot of information in a small amount of space. It is quite jargon-heavy although this might not be able to be avoided. The subheadings are good as they act to split this section into discrete units.

The glossary and external links are very good, and the references are extensive which is good.

----

* '''Introduction''': The information is very interesting and provides a good overview of the olfactory system. The only improvement that could be made is clearly stating what content is going to be covered on this project page. Also, “The olfactory system are often ‘’’divide’’’ into a peripheral mechanism”
* '''History of Discovery''': This sections presents a good summary of each research paper, detailing a background of the researchers and the importance of each discovery. Well done!
* '''Time line of developmental process''': This section shows a good depth of research and provides detailed descriptions of each stage of development. However, the information provided is quite complicated and would not be easily understood by peers. This could be overcome by the use of labeled diagrams or hand drawn images, which I can see is yet to come. Overall this is a well done section, the colors draw the readers attention and I like the use of bolded text to highlight important information.
* '''Anatomy of the Olfactory System & Normal Function''': This provides a good amount of information seeing as the focus of the page is about olfactory development, not the function & final structure. The only improvement could be providing an explanation in the figure provided.
* '''Congenital Abnormalities''': This section is well organized and includes all relevant content. Very interesting to read.
* '''Current Research''': A well researched section and coverage of content. Each paper is summarized and the importance of each discovery is made clear. It would be nice to include a direct link to each article.

----

For me this is one of the best projects of the 6 groups. It is extremely well researched, as seen through the extensive reference list. It is evident that the group has gone above and beyond, researching even more than required for the topic, or standards set by other groups, such as clinical approaches, and much information on current research.

I found that the formatting in the upper part of the page, specifically the section under the title ‘normal function’ was a bit awkward in relation to text and image positioning. It felt that it was not consistent with the flow of the rest of the page.
Also the first table may require an in-filled colour or even lines (can be a light or pale colour), just so each column and the single uploaded image is more defined and linked to the correct year/individual.

The ‘Choanal Atresia’ tomography image requires acknowledgement that the image was uploaded as part of a university assessment. However, really appreciated the breakdown of where the arrows were pointing and the relevance in relation to your specific topic.
Images for the tables need to be finalized and uploaded; ensuring that there is appropriate referencing, whether they are student drawn, or sourced from the literature.
Found that the student drawn diagrams were really detailed and easy to understand and appreciate. Each was also relevant to the topics, which they were linked/associated to.

----
The introduction while small gives a great overview on what olfactory is. You could add a small overview on what the page is about to make this part a little longer.

I like your table on development however there is some information in the table which is missing references, you should see to that soon and add a reference. Some images in this section would be nice and if there are not going in the table then you might want to delete the image column.

The anatomy of the olfactory system is quite small; this part could possibly be added to your introduction.
Kallmann’s syndrome is done very well and is quite thorough and as a result the choanal atresia section looks lacking. I would suggest adding this to the bottom of your abnormalities section and if no more information is going to be added to the page maybe state that other abnormalities include - choranal atresia and then maybe an external link.

Current research section is quite detailed and I would not add anything else to this section. I did notice that Role of Odorant Receptors is just stated with a reference and no information. If nothing is to be added here I would just delete this heading.

Hey team... make sure you check the links i added to the external link section. They are great resources to use in your sections.

== Group Topic Selection ==

So we have a choice between:

stem cells

Neuronal development

Sensory development

I personally don't have a particular preference but I think neural or sensory would be something different to touch on since there's still so much progressing research in the field.

'''Hey all :-). Thanks for getting the ball rolling. I like the latter two options, in particular neuronal development - from there we can pick a certain aspect and explore not only normal development but perhaps research complications and genes/factors implicated when things go wrong.
p.s. It would be great if we could figure out a regular time to meet during the week outside the lab so we can properly discuss and share our research'''

Just a heads up- Mark preferred that we don't put our names up anywhere on the wikipage for privacy purposes!

'''sensory system'''
hello everyone, it seems like the options we had chosen for sensory were picked before we had a chance and therefore I have asked Dr Hill for us to do the "hearing" system. I don't mind changing if the group chooses to do so, however, I thought it would be a good idea to have a topic locked in. Please let me know if you want to do a different topic

==Progress of individual tasks and project queries==

[[User:Z3331264|Z3331264]] 20:18, 22 August 2012 (EST): I will be creating a table to indicate the timeline of development of olfaction during embryonic development. I will make changes to the initial table as I go along so as to avoid not contributing any online material until the end.

--[[User:Z3333427|Z3333427]] 00:58, 25 August 2012 (EST)The table is a really good idea, we should probably have at least another one as information becomes much more organised. Just to let you know that I changed it to Carnegie stages as most sources organise their information based on those stages, and keep in mind that the placodes dont form until week 11 or 12, so there is no need to have stages 1-10.

--[[User:Z3374215|Z3374215]] 17:52, 27 August 2012 (EST) I've got some information on historical developments but information is really difficult to find. I've made some progress but not sure how much more there is that I can do. In light of that I might also take a look at the subheading "Structure". It's referring to the physical structure of the developing olfactory system?

--[[User:Z3331264|Z3331264]] 19:33, 27 August 2012 (EST) Carnegie stages are a good idea! I also think its important to include a brief description of the development of the anatomy of the nose (turbinates etc) as well as a bit about the brain development in the locations of the olfactory nerve. Don't freak out when you read my additions, I do my research gradually, which means I will first add what I found in the textbook and then later on fill in the gaps plus add a research dimension with current lit.

--[[User:Z3333038|Z3333038]] 10:09, 29 August 2012 (EST) Hi all, you heard it from Mark today but just restating, even when doing draft work you must reference properly as you go along or you will be penalised.

--[[User:Z3331264|Z3331264]] 11:22, 29 August 2012 (EST) Decided to just stick to weeks rather than carnegie stages because sometimes between carnegies stages, little events occur which will make the table larger and more confusing!

I also read that article! Pretty interesting stuff

[[User:Z3333427|Z3333427]] 17:48, 7 September 2012 (EST) That is a good idea, please email Dr. Hill if you are unsure about anything as huge penalties apply for ignoring copyright. By the way our group project is looking good, more diagrams and tables similar to the one we have now would be great.

--[[User:Z3333038|Z3333038]] 08:21, 11 September 2012 (EST) Thanks for the article :-). I will add it to a section on congenital anosmia. I emailed him and he said it was absolutely fine, as long as I referenced my source information.

--[[User:Z3374215|Z3374215]] 12:00, 12 September 2012 (EST) Just a note to myself more than anything. I need to reference Julius Kollmann's textbook in the history section and add a diagram.

--[[User:Z3331264|Z3331264]] 17:49, 20 September 2012 (EST) The table that I included walks through the timeline of development. I have slowly been adding more and more research including genes involved in patterning. But at the same time, I don't want to dive into too much information in order to maintain the balance between text and images. I have figured out a way to do this without making it all seem too simple, so just bear with me for the next week and you'll see it tie in well. Cheers

--[[User:Z3333038|Z3333038]] 09:52, 25 September 2012 (EST) I have stumbled across an extra abnormality - although it is more a structural defect rather than a sensory defect, it still relates to olfaction so I have added it in. Will keep it brief though as whilst it is a common nasal abnormality, it is not so much a sensory one. Also, Z3374215 and I are concerned - are you two alright with your parts? We know, like the rest of us you have other assessments but it's been a long while since we've seen any major contribution - if you're stuck we are happy to give you a hand.

--[[User:Z3374215|Z3374215]] 19:07, 25 September 2012 (EST) Hi guys, don't want to impinge on anyone elses work but I think I have to change a couple of generic features on the page. If you don't mind I'll just stick the external links in the section down the bottom with the others. I also may have to move or make smaller the initial image of the olfactory system as I think it is stopping a table from formatting properly. If you are unhappy with any of those small changes I make please feel free to put them back or let me know and I will. Cheers.

--[[User:Z8600021|Mark Hill]] 09:54, 18 September 2012 (EST) This is a recent review on taste. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2922655 http://jcb.rupress.org/content/190/3/285 JCB content allows reuse.

==Group evaluation==

The layout and balance between text and figures, tables, and diagrams is extremely well accomplished. All the information of the page is really intriguing and easy to follow on the majority.
I would suggest placing the history of discoveries immediately after the introduction so that readers may appreciate all the research that would have had to take place in order to put all the information on this page. As well, this would help in having a separation between the two tables used.

When it comes to images, make sure that everything in the image is relevant to the accompanying text and important to the reader. One image where you might fall short of this criteria, is the very first image on the page about the five basic tastes, the names of the protein structures is more distracting and confusing than enlightening and overall would not aid in informing the reader.

I believe the introduction is very important in assisting the reader in gaining an overall understanding of the page and it’s aims. Hence I believe it is important to include a more succinct introduction with such aims. In this case, the introduction to the gustatory system begins defining structures and functions which are better off used elsewhere. Instead try giving an overview of the system and maybe give the reader a reason to read on.

The images used in the abnormality section are scattered and make it hard for the reader to determine which image corresponds to which idea, I would suggest ensuring that each image is detrimental to aiding the reader’s thoughts. This was an extremely interesting section.

Current research is clear, concise and easy to follow with a pleasant arrangement of ideas, text, and images. It was interesting to read. Additionally, the references and glossary are extensive and well done. I would suggest having a link to the glossary from within the text.

Well done on your project so far, and good luck with the rest.

--------

The introduction seemed to go into a lot of detail. for example, the information on Type II receptors should be placed in the same section as neural pathways, not the introduction. Can you also include in your introduction, an overview of what you are going to talk about in your project? That would give your project more structure.

With the neural pathway section, can you draw or find a diagram for that section? I find it hard to understand without one. The taste map section goes into a lot of detail which I think is unnecessary because this is a development project.

Current research section is very interesting. I don't think you need to add any more content on that section - that section to me looks complete, besides a few formatting and referencing issues with the images.

Overall, I felt there wasn't enough written on the development of taste, either the receptors (taste buds) or the neural pathways. Your project seem to focus on the anatomy and physiology or function of the taste system. This is alright to keep but the focus should be on development. You do have a Time-line of taste development that summarizes the development of the Gustatory system which is great to see. I think use that as a starting point and expand on each stage in text form, below the table. In week 12 development in this time-line, you mention 'epithelial types I and II', what are they? Are they similar to skin cells?

Overall, the balance between images and text is great. The colourful images work wonders in breaking up the text. Having said that, Many of your images did not have the correct PMID referencing. These images include:
* images of taste being revoked by visualizing ATP release
* CVP of WT and DKO mouse with H & E and SEM
* histology - can you give a more relevant title for this image? We know it's histology; we can see that. What is this image about?
* Abnormal of Tongue - it should say abnormality of tongue

The history section is excellent because it spans over such a long time - 350BC to 2010. The layout of a coloured table for history is beautiful, clear and concise.

- The introduction of taste is very descriptive and encapsulates the anatomy, physiology and cell biology. Although it is very detailed it doesn’t indicate that the project is about development.

- There is a lot of detail about the taste neural pathway and cortical areas which I’m not sure is relevant to olfactory development unless you mention how they develop as well.

- Figure 2 and 3 do not have any copyright information associated so remember to add those.

- The development section is very nicely put together and hopefully you will add images further down the line. I’ve noticed that in week 8 of development you have the same ref after each line…I’m sure you can just put it at the end of the paragraph as it is same for each line. Same goes for week 14 and 15. Also since you have 2 references for the entire section --- you might want to look at other articles as well.

- Some things that I missed in the section were patterning molecules and genes. Also any signalling mechanisms that control differentiation.

- The history section is exceptionally done with the use of tables, description and references.

- I thoroughly enjoyed your abnormality section. The images are nicely done as well. Although you have described many genes and molecules which are not specified in the normal development portion so the reader don’t understand their roles. Maybe address this in your normal development section.

- The current development section is also very nicely put together but again things like Shh and WNT should be in development section.

Overall very nicely put together and great balance of pictures and text. Although this is a development topic so the major emphasis should be on development of the organ --- Normal development is good but there is too much content in that section that can be left out.

Abundant information, including a nice coloured in table, which is a cool idea. Unfinished though, the images to go with it would make it great. The page seems to be segmented into sections with a large amount of text, and sections with many pictures. Try for a more even distribution, if possible. Pictures seem to be relevant, with good explanations, referencing and certificates. Helpful and interesting abnormalities and current research sections

--------

Your introduction is quite good and gives us a brief overview of the different tastes. I also like it that you touch on the fact that it is important we recognise (via taste) food which would be dangerous to our health. In my opinion, after you mention the research (ending the sentence with …’may exist.’) you should tell the reader what you will be discussing on your page. The few lines on fatty acids does not seem to fit in, and should be part of your history section and possibly current/future research. Some specific information seems to have been researched, such as what umami codes for; however, references have not been provided. Also make sure that the image has the correct information – title, description, references, copyright, student template.

It would be more logical to put the history section next. Following this by the timeline and then go back to the cell biology, receptors and taste map etc.

The history section is good with many significant dates and clear descriptions incorporated in a table. I do see lots of numbers, which I think relate to references. I cannot find these references anywhere, so please edit this and make sure it is included in your list of references. There are also a few references listed in full in the table, so please put these down as proper references. Also, there is no good description for the year 2007 (it is mainly a reference).

The developmental timeline is expansive and very interesting! It really relates to the different developmental stages and tells us what happens over time. I hope you can include images with appropriate labels and information to this table, as it will greatly complement your text. Please do check your spelling, eg. ‘epithelium’ in week 6. Also references in this section are appropriate and are not doubled-up in the reference list. Do check reference 5 as it comes up with a cite error.

The section on cell biology and type 2 receptors is clear and easy to read. I cannot see any references though! Please be careful cause this might indicate plagiarism. The taste map is interesting and I am glad you mentioned research has indicated that the different receptors are in fact located all over the tongue – not just in particular sections. If possible, look for the original paper(s) that made this discovery.

The section on neural pathways is a little more difficult to read and I did not understand some of it. Particular terms are used in sentences which suggest little effort has been put in to explain everything in your own words. This is further indicated by the lack of references in the ‘first order neuron’ section and the majority of the ‘second order neuron’ section. I might be wrong, but then do add all your jargon to the glossary. If possible, also try to find other papers which present the same information to strengthen your points mentioned. Images for both the taste map and the cortex need referencing, copyright info, etc.

Adult tongue and taste buds. It is good you include some anatomy and physiology into your section. Do keep in mind the majority of your project should focus on embryonic development. You included the appropriate names, eg. sulcus terminalis, and I am glad to see that has also been put in the glossary. Some more terms do need to be added, eg. circumvallate. The text is good, clear and easy to read. Images are appropriate and relate to the text but need proper descriptions, citations, etc. A major let down of this section is the lack of references – please include this.

Personally, I found the abnormalities section very interesting! However, you are suddenly talking about all these genes and factors which you have not mentioned anywhere else. It might be good to provide a brief description of these in the development section or incorporate them into your developmental timeline. Images all have copyright information, but other information is missing, such as the student template and/or reference. Please check and add this.

Current research includes a lot of information. All different sections have their references which are displayed in the reference list. If you can, provide links to the website of the research groups working on current projects. Be careful not to just put your reference at the end, as you may also have to reference within the paragraph. Both pictures used will need the student template. The double tongue image will need a reference in its description too.

As mentioned before, add and edit the glossary and reference list. You should also add to the useful links (make this external links) and the image gallery, or delete these subheadings, as there is nothing there now.

Hope this helps!
------
"In regards to the information presented (outcomes 1 and 9), the timeline for the development is good and written with clarity. However, I noticed the section on structure only referred to the adult state rather than focusing on the embryonic origin of each structure (ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm). I would suggest that you elaborate on the developmental stages introduced in the timeline in order to build on the information you have already provided. This is important in regards to outcome 6 so that you can relate your research to embryology – the development of taste should be your focus. The history timeline was great to read as it was very concise and clear.

The page shows a good level of peer teaching with clear language and a good balance between images and text (outcome 4) with technical terms explained in the glossary. An improvement could be to make a link between any technical language and the glossary to avoid scrolling up and down to the page. Your Current Research section (outcome 5) was very interesting to read and showed you went beyond the scope of basic research on taste – good work!

In terms of layout (outcome 2), whilst the images are interesting and relevant to the text, some are not appropriately referenced nor described; make sure to reference appropriately and at least write one or two sentences to make the images relevant to the reader. Additionally, the introduction should not be under another subheading (Gustatory system) as it creates some confusion; I would suggest making the introduction its own heading in order to make the page flow. Similarly, the history timeline would best be placed towards the beginning of the page, under the introduction.

I noticed some areas (such as the section on Structure) were not appropriately or consistently referenced. Make sure to include a citation anytime you introduce a researched idea or information to avoid being accused of plagiarism. I noticed the history timeline had good consistent referencing; however the numbers just need to be formatted so they come under the reference list. If you click on the Tutorial: References page linked from the student page, it tells you how to do this. Hope the feedback helps and all the best for your project!"

------

The introduction is very detailed but did not mention anything about the development of the taste. But I thought the mechanisms behind sweet and salty tastes are very interesting. Maybe do the same for the other 3 tastes? The image of the basic 5 tastes is a bit small, maybe upload a bigger version of the image. Also, the image is lacking some reference, copyright information and a student image template.

The type II receptor section is pretty good and descriptive but it does not really relate to the development of the taste. The taste map is a very eye-catchy image and it would be really useful if it had all the needed information such as the copyright notice. The timeline of the gustatory system is very well-presented and easy to read. I understand the project is not completed yet, therefore more images are still to be put in. Only 2 references have been used in the timeline section, maybe try to research more and use different resources. There are some citing error but it should be quite easy to fix.

Histories of discoveries section is very detailed and easy to read but the referencing needs to be fixed. The adult tongue and taste bud section is very clear and precise and contain a lot of useful information but it does not really relate to the research topic, should beware of going off-track. The hand-drawn diagram of the taste bud is impressive and easy to understand but again lacking in some referencing information such as who drew it. The abnormalities section is good and well-researched and it is interesting to know about which gene or receptors will effect the development of taste and sensation. Maybe the abnormalities section can be included into the current research section because abnormalities are repeated in the current research section below. There are detailed definitions of terms in the glossary which is good because it really helps the reader to understand more about the research topic.

Overall, the page is looking good. The main thing that needs to be fixed will be the images that are already on the page, they need the correct and essential information with them when uploaded on the page or else, they will get deleted and there will be no images on the page and the nice balance of images and text now will be gone. There seem to be a lot of anatomy and biology of the taste system but not a lot of information about their development. Although there is a timeline of development but i think more information is needed. Referencing is pretty good with only one or two minor citing error but it should be easy to fix. Structure of the page is clear and simple with headings and sub-headings being consistent, making the page easy to read and follow. Hope this helps :)

----

The introduction is good, explaining the function and mechanisms behind.

The taste map text and picture are useful however lack referencing information.

The cortical areas section is very interesting and well referenced.

The table timeline is a very good way to summarise the development of taste. It is succinct and well referenced, even though one paper was referred to for most of the information.

The history table is similarly good, very succinct and straightforward, however lacks some references, and the references that were included could be improved by using the wiki referencing system.

The structure and function section is useful but doesn't add much to the text in terms of embryological development. Also make sure the images are properly referenced with the "student template" included.

The abnormalities section is very good and well researched, although maybe try and avoid referring to the articles that have been researched in the text and rather just refer to them using the wiki referencing system. The images are good as well but don't forget the "student template" here also.

The current research section is interesting and well researched, the use of succinct subheadings to summarise the paper's findings was good.

The useful links and image sections need to be added to, and the glossary section can be improved by putting the key terms in bold, but that is otherwise good.

--------
Initially the page seems to have a good balance between text and diagrams/photographs. However the figures included are not properly labelled once you click on the file and some of them don't appear to have any copyright information included. Some of the pictures could do with being a bit smaller as they take up a large proportion of the page. The student drawn image of the tongue is particularly impressive but does still need to have the student template included. The references seem limited in comparison to other groups perhaps suggesting a lack of depth or variety of research. There also appears to be a coding problem relating to reference number 5. The general layout and use of subheadings is great. It may be useful to link the words in the glossary to their occurrence in the text.

The introductory paragraphs are very well written. They are easy to understand and interesting and give a good overview of how taste functions. Similarly the section on taste map is well written clearly explaining the neurological factors associated with taste. However the presence of the picture in isolation is confusing as it is representing an the old method of taste association. Perhaps this would be resolved if a diagram of the newer taste map was also included. Also you say that the old taste map has been disproved by recent research but that research is not referenced. In fact it appears that very little of that section is referenced. The section on cortical areas is well done.

The timeline of developmental processes is good, the table an easy visual format and the information concise and effective. The only point of contention would be the direct quote in Wk8-9 which seems out of place in comparison to the remainder of the entries which are nicely paraphrased. The history section is similarly well done being extensive and comprehensive. That is excepting some Pub Med references which are just placed in the text rather than in the reference list at the bottom. While interesting and well written the part detailing the Adult Tongue and Taste Buds seems out of place in a embryology course.

The sections on the effect of gene expression on the formation of taste abnormalities and current research are good. However it may be useful to put the information regarding each picture as a caption rather than plain text.

It will be interesting to see what is put in the section "Image Gallery"

---------
The information provided is both informative and well organised. The use of tables and figures make the text easy to follow and the diagrams make the information easier to understand. When it comes to images however, they seem to be somewhat irrelevant next to some of the information in some cases. Try to move them around and make sure they accompany relevant text.

The introduction does not give the reader the overview of the topic, but rather explores structures and function which makes it difficult to order. Simplifying the introduction, and moving some of the more detailed information such as the information about the type 2 receptors to the relevant section would improve the page.

Other information that is difficult to understand is the text which involves certain genes and molecules without explaining their function or role. Explaining these aspects of the genes and molecules would make the information flow better.
The section on current research is very informative and seems to be complete. However, I did note some errors with the citation of the image used, working on the references is very important for the other images as well as not all have the copyright information.

I also noticed that many of the references are repeated numerous times. Week 8 of development for example have the same reference after a number of sentences. A variety of sources will improve the accuracy of the information rather than derive all the information from a single source.

There is a great focus on the anatomy and physiology of taste, however, it is important to remember that the focus of this project is about development, and therefore including a timeline or a table which covers this information is very important. The page seems to be very organised and the inclusion of tables and diagrams along with the extensive glossary make this page stand out. Well done.

----
The page that you have created is very extensive and was well formatted in relation to the ratio of images to text on the page.
Found that the colours and use of table for the breakdown of information in relation to ‘Timeline of developmental process’ and ‘history of discoveries’ condensed the material and made it easily understandable. This made me want to keep reading.

With majority of the images that are uploaded onto the page there needs to be the correct information and referencing provided for the summary box. From where the image was sourced (ideally of reliable and scientific literature in origin), identifying that it has been uploaded for a student assignment and copyright information-permission to use uploaded image and any other information that is pertaining to the topic and why the image was used/relevant.
Further, those of you within your group that have drawn an uploaded image, have to ensure that you have stated in the summary box that it was student drawn prior to final assessment/evaluation.

The glossary is able to be expanded upon and potentially ensuring that the words that are being explained/elaborated are bolded. As a reader, I would find it easier to read and distinguish if they were bolded.
The reference list that has been developed appears to demonstrate that as a group you have are well read and researched, however, the citation errors will have to be addressed and resolved prior to final marking of the project. I really appreciated the layout (headings, summary and images) of the page.

----
The introduction is well written and very informative. You should add the history timeline directly below the introduction, because where it currently is feels like it is floating. With it after the introduction it will create a flow to your page and separate the two tables.
In your development table I noted a column called images, the adding of images to show the development stage you are describing will give this section some more flair. If you are not adding images don’t forget to delete the column.

Your section on adult taste and tongue is very interesting but maybe if there is a difference, i.e. newborns tongues are more sensitive to a taste than adults, a comparison would be interesting here.

In abnormalities you mention p2x receptors, maybe you could add this to the glossary and give a brief explanation about what they are and do. This would be a good idea for any other receptor or genes/proteins mention above that you don’t want to explain in detail in the main section.

Hey guys,

Did I see someone write about or have articles about Sprouty (''spry'') genes?

I can't find it, but I'm sure I saw it. Let me know :)

Also, I've just been going over the main page and I wonder if a picture of the overall tongue, not only sections or histological drawings (which were really good btw) would be good to point out the anatomical features?? Like the sulcus terminalis which was pointed out.
I'd be happy to draw it. This would be for the Basic structure section.

Let me know ASAP so I can do it tonight :)

Hey guys,
So here's our plan for the next few weeks. If you want you can start writing up a particular section before next week!

* Wed 5/09: Have heading finalized; divide work.
* Wed 12/09: Sections finished. Discuss in class of any areas of improvement.
* Wed 19/09: Peer Assessment!

Have a good break :)

Hey guys,
I thought of a few headings, please let me know if you have anything to add or change!

* Intro
* History of discoveries
* Gustatory system - this is really important!!
* Tongue and taste buds - structure and function
* Taste map
* Weekly development
* Abnormalities
* Current Research
* Future research

Not including the intro we can each choose 2 areas. I'll get started on History of discoveries and Weekly development.

If you're having problems with your section, or feel that it is irrelevant, or find something else along the way just email the group and we can make changes!

Have a great week :)

Sure, how about somewhere between the two Embryology lectures (12-3pm) on Tuesday?

Which sections do you want to do? I just put them up on our wiki page.

Jordan --[[User:Z3330986|Z3330986]] 11:50, 5 September 2012 (EST)

Hi everyone i'll be happy to "Gustatory system" and "taste map." I think it would make it a bit easier as i have covered the neural pathways of taste in some detail in Neuroanatomy.

--

Okay awesome guys

So the division of work so far is:
* Introduction to the Gustatory System - '''Jordan'''
* Timeline of Developmental Processes of the Gustatory System - '''Nat'''
* History of Discoveries - '''Nat'''
* Adult Tongue and Taste Buds – Structure and Function - '''Jared'''
* Taste Map - '''Jordan'''
* Abnormalities - '''Liz?'''
* Current Research - '''Jared'''
* Future Research - '''Liz?'''

Liz are you happy with those sections?

And Jared be careful with the 'Taste Maps' section, I just read that it may be a misconception! If thats the case then maybe just how the brain interprets the 5 different types of taste.

Nat

== Useful articles ==

Hi there,

I'm going to links to the articles I find here so you guys can see them and I don't lose them.

===Future Research===

1) A Test for Measuring Gustatory Function
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2823587/?tool=pmcentrez]

This is pretty good for future methods of detecting defects in taste, but requires communication about reception of the tastant. Could be used when the children grow up. Great for adults.

2) The gustatory cortex and multisensory integration
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2726647/?tool=pmcentrez]

3) REWIRING THE GUSTATORY SYSTEM: SPECIFICITY BETWEEN NERVE AND TASTE BUD FIELD IS CRITICAL FOR NORMAL SALT DISCRIMINATION
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2812680/?tool=pmcentrez]
(Not sure where I would put this, I'm going to put it in future research]

===Abnormalities===

1) Gustatory Imagery Reveals Functional Connectivity from the Prefrontal to Insular Cortices Traced with Magnetoencephalography
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3132751/?tool=pmcentrez]

This article essentially highlights that taste imagery is a learned response in the Insular Cortices (IC), imaged by fMRI and PET scans, and that disruption in this learning process changes the way we perceive taste. Again, I don't know how relevant this would be in the developing embryo unless there would be damage in the pre-frontal IC.

Any ideas guys??

2) Defects in the Peripheral Taste Structure and Function in the MRL/lpr Mouse Model of Autoimmune Disease
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3334929/?tool=pmcentrez]

3) Knocking out P2X receptors reduces transmitter secretion in taste buds
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3188419/?tool=pmcentrez]
<pubmed>21940456</pubmed>

This was a GREAT article. Basically spoke about how using double knockout (DKO) mice for taste receptors P2X2 and P2X3 were knocked out and how it didn't release the neurotransmitter ATP when a tastant was administered, whereas the WT (wild type) mice did release ATP.

===Other??===

1) Olfactory and Gustatory Sensory Changes to Tobacco Smoke in Pregnant Smokers
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3375030/?tool=pmcentrez]

This article is unrequired for this specific project (I realised this AFTER i read most of it) because it talks about how pregnancy affects the 'want' to smoke. So it's more behavioral rather than research into developmental problems that smoking may cause.

2) CODING IN THE MAMMALIAN GUSTATORY SYSTEM
[http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2902637/?tool=pmcentrez]

Hi guys, just putting a subheading of interesting articles found:

'''1.''' <pubmed>21978088</pubmed>

'''2.''' [http://embryology.med.unsw.edu.au/notes/tongue.htm#17108952 UNSW Embryology Development of Taste]

This website provides a really great overview of taste developmental timing & overview, tastebuds, receptors, pathways, genes and provides great references for further research - and its a UNSW site!

'''3.''' [http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/12/061205214617.htm Researchers Discover Initial Steps In Development Of Taste]

A Science News story that looks at the role of Wnt pathway in the development of taste. "In the present study, the researchers found that in mice in which the actions of Wnt proteins were blocked, taste papilla buds completely failed to develop. Conversely, in mice in which Wnt signaling was over activated, their tongues were covered with many and large papillae and taste buds." It also briefly discusses neural pathways of taste and abnormalities.

'''4.''' Purves D, Augustine GJ, Fitzpatrick D, et al., editors. Neuroscience. 2nd edition. Sunderland (MA): Sinauer Associates; 2001. '''Taste Receptors and the Transduction of Taste Signals'''. Available from: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK11148/

This book chapter covers a variety of transduction mechanisms for taste cells. It is quite detailed, however has some great diagrams to explain the content. The concluding paragraph provides a good summary: "The overall picture that emerges from these admittedly complicated details is that taste cells have a variety of transduction mechanisms. In general, individual taste cells respond to several types of chemical stimuli. Nevertheless, taste cells also exhibit gustatory selectivity. Like olfactory cells, the lower the threshold concentration for detecting a single tastant, the greater the selectivity of the relevant taste cell. Finally, taste receptor mechanisms also adapt to the ongoing presence of a stimulus, although the mechanisms are not understood. If a chemical is left on the tongue for a sufficient time, it ceases to be perceived (consider saliva, for example). Thus, to obtain the full taste of foods, one must either frequently change the types of foods placed in the mouth or wait a sufficient time between helpings, facts that have long been appreciated by restauranteurs and gourmets."

Jared - structure & function; recent findings

==Topic Choice==

Hey guys,
Unfortunately a lot of other groups seem to want to do hearing & vision as well, so I thought maybe we should choose to do '''taste'''. Let me know what you think!

I also brainstormed a few topic headings... feel free to add to it or change the order around

Headings:
* Introduction (what is the project about?)
* Time line of major discoveries / History (early researchers)
* Structure & Function
* Tongue development (brief)
* Taste development - time line and detailed
* Normal function
* Abnormal function
* Current research (recent findings)
* Glossary and Abbreviations
* References

==Lets do: Sensory - Hearing==

From a bit of research this afternoon, I couldn't find much on skin development in terms of "sense organ"/"sense development". I suggest if we do Sensory we do hearing as there was alot of information (inner, middle, outer). And also there are specific screening procedures involved during pregancy.

Couple of link below with basic surface information that we could use as a starting point.

== Stucture & Function ==

'''Structure/ Parts'''
general including tissue type muslces + mucosa etc

- anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 (sculus terminulis)- we are manily concerned with 2/3 of tounge as it responsible for papillae + soft palate and epiglottis containing
- papillae, contain chemo-recpetors

'''Function'''
- direct vs indriect
- parts of tounge detecting differnt tastes/ flavours

'''Pathway'''
chmeorecpetors (translation/ transduction)
process of chemical to elecectrical
