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

Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.

This study from MIT explores eye evolution through AI simulations, uncovering how different tasks shape visual systems and ...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of millions of years of evolution. Rapid neuronal evolution in humans is likely ASD’s genetic cause, new research suggests. Though autism can cause ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- The human brain contains about 86 billion neurons. These cells fire electrical signals that help the brain store memories and send information and commands throughout the brain and ...

Explore how self-sabotaging behaviors function as survival-driven coping mechanisms rooted in human evolution.
