Researchers found that gentle brain stimulation changed how participants recognized sexualized images of women during controlled lab tests. Psychologists interpret this smaller drop in recognition as a possible sign that viewers process these women more like objects. A new experiment…
Entering an unfamiliar place provides the chance to make a new memory. A new study at MIT's Picower Institute for Learning and Memory shows how two proteins spring into action to ensure that a memory is encoded within minutes. To…
A study of gene activity in the brain's hippocampus, led by UT Southwestern researchers, has identified marked differences between the region's anterior and posterior portions. The findings, published today in Neuron, could shed light on a variety of brain disorders…
"We've known for a decade that STIM1 protein moved toward the plasma membrane to open ORAI channels when ER calcium levels drop," says Hogan, a professor in the Division of Signaling and Gene Expression. "Our recent work shows how the STIM…
A calcium-sensing protein, STIM1, known to activate store-operated calcium channels has been found to also inhibit voltage-operated calcium channels, according to researchers at Temple University. The researchers published their findings in the Oct. 1 issue of Science. Calcium, not just important for…
An essential protein that acts as a gatekeeper for calcium entering cells promotes the growth of oral cancer and generates pain, according to a new study published in Science Signaling led by researchers at NYU College of Dentistry. Targeting this…
