A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...
Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...
The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...
With their bright red, hairless chests and grass-grazing lifestyle, gelada monkeys are quite unusual. They are the only primate, other than humans, to primarily live on land instead of in trees, and a ...
Chinese scientists have implanted human brain genes into monkeys, in a study intended to provide insights into the unique evolution of human intelligence. Researchers inserted human versions of MCPH1, ...
This has been quite the wild year in human evolution stories. Our relatives, living and extinct, got a lot of attention—from ...
