A recent study may reshape our understanding of brain evolution and open new avenues for studying neurological diseases.

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have built a cross-species atlas of gene regulatory networks governing ...

The human brain is often described as one of biology’s greatest mysteries. Researchers at Stanford have found evidence that the developing brain begins from two distinct developmental origins, with ...

Cell-based models of the human cortex transplanted into mice produce neurons that are inaccessible in vitro, and could enable scientists to link brain injury to behaviour.

The human brain stands as perhaps nature’s most extraordinary creation, constantly evolving throughout our lives in response to a complex interplay of biological and environmental influences. This ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different from our closest relatives. Our ...

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study, published ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers have mapped how different parts of the brain work together. Specifically, they ...

Humans remember the events of yesterday.A place visited for the first time.A conversation shared with someone.How to ride a ...

Scientists have spent decades trying to get medicine across the blood-brain barrier. Two treatments for a rare genetic ...
