A Touching Sight SII/PV Activation during the Observation and Experience of Touch

Watching the movie scene in which a tarantula crawls on James Bond's chest can make us literally shiver--as if the spider crawled on our own chest. What neural mechanisms are responsible for this "tactile empathy"? The observation of the actions of others activates the premotor cortex normally involved in the execution of the same actions. If a similar mechanism applies to the sight of touch, m...

Touching from a distance

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the sole mediator of bidirectional nucleo-cytoplasmic transport and is also an important scaffold for chromatin organization and transcriptional regulation. Proteomic studies of numerous diverse eukaryotic species initially characterized the NPC as built with a number of remarkably similar structural features, suggesting its status as an ancient and conserved e...

A Touching Subject

The possibility of differentiating our senses comes from our ability to determine the means by which they are aroused. The game of peek-a-boo teaches babies that although their eyes may be covered, the world they see does not disappear. The connection between one aspect of understanding one's surroundings, and the eyes, is developed: vision is not reality. The different perception of an object ...

Touching geometry

Geometric models and algorithms have been traditionally designed to support graphics, visualization, and spatial reasoning. Recent developments in human computer interfaces are now making it possible to \touch" virtual geometric objects | we can feel interaction forces with haptic interfaces and hear realistic contact sounds with auditory displays. These interfaces pose new challenges for the d...

A Touching Picture of Nicotinic Binding

The snail acetylcholine binding protein (AChBP) is homologous to the extracellular domains of the nicotinic ACh receptors. In this issue of Neuron, Celie et al. show how the crystal structures of AChBP in complexes with carbamylcholine and nicotine reveal the basis for agonist recognition by ACh receptors.
