Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...
A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...
Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...
The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...
Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...
It suggests that manual dexterity and brain evolution are connected across the entire primate lineage, from lemurs to humans. Notably, the correlation held even when human data were excluded, ...
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 ...
The world’s most powerful supercomputers can now run simulations of billions of neurons, and researchers hope such models ...
Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.
