Brain Temperature Tunnel dicovered

Physician and scientist M. Marc Abreu, M.D., says he has uncovered an area of the brain called the brain temperature tunnel. In what he calls a remarkable discovery, he says this precise area of the brain controls the key function and critical factor for life preservation and human performance -- brain temperature. ....Through his research, he has discovered that a small area of skin near the eye...

Evolution influenced by Temperature change

Professor Hunt and Roy from University of California, San Diego has published in the Journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences// their views on evolution of bigger animals from small animals. ....Researchers found that evolution also occurred in deep sea animals and they found that over time transmission of animals from occurred mostly by increase in size and they found that when...

98.6 degrees no longer the benchmark for normal temperature

Dr. Carl Wunderlich, a 19th-century German physician gave us the magic figure of 98.6 degrees. This was done by him after collecting and analysing over a million armpit temperatures for 25,000 patients.// ..This has been corrected by Harvard researchers and appears in the April issue of the Harvard Health Letter. ..The average normal temperature for adults is found to be 98.2 degrees, not 98.6...

Sensor Images Show Soaring Temperature and Pollution Levels in UK

Summer temperatures have been on an all time high in the United Kingdom, and space sensors have also been keeping tabs on the rising temperature and pollution levels. //According to the Met office reports, during the period from 15th to 19th July, the temperatures were a record high in UK along with nitrogen dioxide pollution, which is known to trigger a host of respiratory problems. ....These...

Cooling Temperatures Help Crucian Carp

Crucian carp, which is a sort of cousin to a goldfish, is able to store vast amounts of glycogen in its brain, due to the cooling temperatures present in water. //This will allow it to keep its brain healthy despite there being no oxygen in ponds between February and April ....The study from Finland found that the amount of glycogen in the brain was at its peak in February, when the pond becomes...

Substance P May Pre-empt VIP in Regulating Temperature

An elusive neurotransmitter pathway in the skin may have been isolated by University of Oregon researchers, a discovery that, if confirmed, //would be a leap forward in understanding how temperature regulation occurs. In other words, they may have found a major player in the machinery that allows people to release body heat and stay cool. ....Experiments involving 11 young men and women looked cl...

New Study Links Western Wildfires to Atlantic Ocean Surface Temperatures

Western U.S. wildfires are likely to increase in the coming decades, according to a new tree-ring study// led by the University of Comahue in Argentina and involving the University of Colorado at Boulder that links episodic fire outbreaks in the past five centuries with periods of warming sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic. ....States like Washington, Oregon, California, Colorado, New...

TEMPE Spray Delays Ejaculation

A new study suggests that TEMPE, a topical anesthetic spray has the potential to offer a convenient, novel treatment for men with premature ejaculation and might be useful// as a first-line treatment for the condition. This study is published in the February issue of the urology journal BJU International. ....Researchers from the UK and Netherlands studied 54 men with premature ejaculation, rand...

Researchers Discover Key to Body’s Ability to Detect Subtle Temperature Change

Scientists have long known the molecular mechanisms behind most of the body’s sensing capabilities. Vision, for example//, is made possible in part by rhodopsin, a pigment molecule that is extremely sensitive to light. It is involved in turning photons into electrical signals that can be decoded by the brain into visual information. But how the human body is able to sense a one-degree change in t...

Menthol Receptor-A Thermosensitivity Determinant in Cold Temperature

According to a study in Nature by Yale School of Medicine, the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF), and the University of Wisconsin, the menthol receptor detects a wide range of cold temperatures and relays the information to the brain. ...The finding solves the mystery of how important the ion channel TRPM8 is for alerting the body to cold temperatures.TRPM8 is the primary, if no...
