No, you are not afraid of cold. Like any mammal, you are programmed to shiver when body temperature drops below a threshold, an automatic and subconscious function. The involuntary contractions of the muscles produce warmth, rising the body temperature. A new research, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, ha... |

Are you naturally born Viking? Or do you shiver at the slightest breeze? That's on your genetics. A new research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, shows that it could be in fact in a single protein.

From cold to hot, sweet to bitter, there must be a gene that enables us to detect these sensations. After years of research, scientists have finally detected the gene responsible for the cold sensation, at least in mammals. The gene, named TRPM8, could lead to the development of analgesic drugs provoking cold sensati... |

Having played Resident Evil 4 a couple of weeks ago, I'm still looking for a scare that would make me feel the same as Capcom's title did.
