Groundbreaking research reveals that human microbes can trigger genetic brain activity in other species, suggesting our ...

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

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

Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

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

The story of primates is a tale of incredible variety and ancient roots, told through the lens of science, DNA, and time itself. These creatures, ranging from massive gorillas to tiny mouse lemurs, ...

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, ...
