Second-Hand Stress: Neurobiological Evidence for a Human Alarm Pheromone (2008)

Helmut H. Strey, Blaise Frederick, Robert Savoy, David D. Cox, Yevgeny Botanov, ...

Alarm pheromones are airborne chemical signals, released by an individual into the environment, which transmit warning of danger to conspecifics via olfaction. Using fMRI, we provide the first...

DNA Cholesteric Pitch as a Function of Density and Ionic Strength

Stanley, Christopher B., Hong, Helen, Strey, Helmut H.

The nature of chiral interactions among chiral biopolymers, such as DNA, protein α-helices, and rodlike virus particles, remains elusive. In particular, a satisfactory model connecting molecular...

Osmotically Induced Helix-Coil Transition in Poly(Glutamic Acid)

Stanley, Christopher B., Strey, Helmut H.

Protein folding and conformational changes are influenced by protein-water interactions and, as such, the energetics of protein function are necessarily linked to water activity. Here, we have chosen...

Chemosensory Cues to Conspecific Emotional Stress Activate Amygdala in Humans

Mujica-Parodi, Lilianne R., Strey, Helmut H., Frederick, Blaise, Savoy, Robert, Cox, David, Botanov, Yevgeny, ...

Alarm substances are airborne chemical signals, released by an individual into the environment, which communicate emotional stress between conspecifics. Here we tested whether humans, like other...
