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 ...

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

Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...

Modern humans, Neanderthals, and other recent relatives on our human family tree evolved bigger brains much more rapidly than earlier species, a new study of human brain evolution has found. The study ...

A part of the brain called the pallium is responsible for many complex functions. In mammals, the pallium is thought to be where the neocortex forms, and gives rise to the cerebral cortex and ...

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

A groundbreaking new study reveals that changes to the gut microbiome can change the way the brain works. Humans have the largest relative brain size of any primate, but little is known about how ...

Recent study sheds new light on the enigmatic early evolution of snakes by examining an unexpected source: their brains. The results emphasize the significance of studying both the soft parts of ...
