Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval ...
Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...
Can the brain keep working when its architecture changes? Researchers at the University of Geneva (UNIGE) have discovered ...
The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...
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.
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 ...
