A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

A new study from Northwestern University provides the first empirical data showing the direct role the gut microbiome plays in shaping differences in the way the brain functions across different ...

Modern dogs offer a living record of change shaped by proximity to people. Over time, research shows that brains respond to ...

The brains of birds, reptiles, and mammals evolved independently, reveal two recent studies. These findings revolutionize our understanding of brain evolution. The pallium, a crucial brain region for ...

Researchers reveal how gut microbes shape metabolic strategies to fuel larger brains, offering a glimpse into the evolutionary biology of primates. Putative model for microbial influences on the ...

Could our gut hold the key to human intelligence? New research shows gut microbes can shape brain development, boost energy ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

The secrets of human brain evolution are beginning to be unveiled thanks to a recent study. Researchers have explored key genetic regions to understand what sets us apart from chimpanzees. A team from ...

Brain size in primates is predicted by diet, an analysis by a team of New York University anthropologists indicates. These results call into question “the social brain hypothesis,” which has posited ...

Brain, as a physical organ, is very peculiar in one aspect when compared to other organs. It has an awareness of itself. There is no way this awareness can be measured, but its existence is too ...
