Scientists Discover that bats have heat sensors for its food. In its Basic bats using infrared sensors. By seeking out sources of Blood The one closest to his prey, making it more efficient.
"Vampire Bats have an infrared detector to enable the circulation" by David Julius, PhD, Morris Herzstein Chair in Molecular Biology & Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco
The researchers studied the vampire bats in South America by the Instituto Venezolano de Investigaciones Científicas, Caracas.by studying the specific biology.
Heat sensors to detect molecules found in vampire bat nosecalled TRPV1
Researchers hope to be in the TRPV1 pain medication.Molecules that occur heat sensor will get hot sensation. hypersensitivity to heat after injury and inflammation. as was the case with a sunburn.
"Pain is necessary as a warning system to let us know when we are in danger of injury, at the same time, the pain can outlive its usefulness as a warning system when it fails to settle and become chronic and debilitating."
According to Julius, the invention is a small change in a gene in the genome of a species can contribute to major evolution are adaptation over time - in this case, vampire bats provide the ability to detect infrared heat.
Vampire bats are the only mammals known to survive only on blood, they need to drink enough each day to survive, support needs through a number of evolutionary adaptation.
Researchers have known for years that the hole in the nosevampire bats' allows them to detect blood vessels because they emit heat. But no one knows exactly how this happened.
