Feeling cold is contagious
Seeing someone plunge into an ice-cold bath induces feelings of cold. However, it was recently demonstrated that ie ing another’s skin temperature change also induces a small congruent temperature change in the observer. This synchronization suggests topdown influences on peripheral temperature regulation mechanisms and lends supports to somatic-simulation theories of inter-subjectivity.
متن کاملHygrosensation: Feeling Wet and Cold
Identification of ionotropic receptors required for hygrosensation in Drosophila supports the notion that hygrosensory neurons across insects share common morphological and anatomical features. This further advances the field by uncovering central circuits that respond to both humidity and temperature.
متن کاملVoltage- and cold-dependent gating of single TRPM8 ion channels
Transient receptor potential (TRP) channels play critical roles in cell signaling by coupling various environmental factors to changes in membrane potential that modulate calcium influx. TRP channels are typically activated in a polymodal manner, thus integrating multiple stimuli. Although much progress has been made, the underlying mechanisms of TRP channel activation are largely unknown. The ...
متن کاملElena Gracheva: Ion channels run hot and cold
With her father, Oleg Grachov, doing research in high-energy particle physics and her mother, Tatiana Grachova, working as an engineer, Elena Gracheva feels she was fated for a career in the sciences. Her chief childhood pursuits involved solving tough physics and chemistry problems with her parents. But she says her reaction upon fi rst learning about DNA and protein expression was one of incr...
متن کاملO 13: Ion Channels in Autoimmune Neurodegeneration
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system characterized by widespread inflammation, focal demyelination and a variable degree of axonal and neuronal loss. Ionic conductances regulate T cell activation as well as neuronal function and thus have been found to play a crucial role in MS pathogenesis. Since present therapeutical approaches are only parti...
