Scientists have discovered a “gene of the sixth sense

Scientists from the USA have found people the gene is the sixth sense that is called Piezo2. According to biologists, occuring mutations in the gene provoke the loss of coordination and tactile sensations.

According to scientists, the lack people tactile sensations, and loss of coordination, and the sixth sense associated with the body position in space, a pathology that does not even have a specific name. In the process, a group of academics led by neurologist branch of the us National institutes of health in Bethesda Carsten Benemann found similar violations of only two people: the female 9 and 19 years old.

During the observation on the “sixth sense” of two test subjects, scientists found that girls are totally unable to coordinate their movements in space and take weird positions. Also girls have discovered the problems associated with deformation of the joints and scoliosis. It is reported that lack Piezo2 gene causes the disease of the back and limbs. During the research of Alexander Chesler ran some tests on the subjects. The results showed that the girls are missing the tactile sensation, and there is poor coordination. So, being blindfolded, they could completely lose balance and managed to feel the comb, which the researchers had on their skin.

Biologists have decided to carry out MRI of brain and spinal cord of girls that have violated “the sixth sense”. It turned out that their sensory neurons while tactile stimulation was not initiated. Also, studies have shown that subjects showed a mutation in the gene Piezo2. Scientists report that the change in the protein this gene in mice provokes death in the early stages, but people managed to live with these disorders.Ученые обнаружили у людей "ген шестого чувства"
