The findings have the potential to resolve the longstanding "Muddle in the Middle" of human evolution, researchers said.

How a brain's anatomical structure relates to its function is one of the most important questions in neuroscience. It ...

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.

As artificial intelligence is pitted against the brain, Jim Al-Khalili, broadcaster and professor of theoretical physics, ...

After spending more than four months studying the evolution of the brain, Jim Al-Khalili has never been so sure of its ...

A natural psychoactive compound shows promise in protecting brain blood vessels and reducing inflammation, offering potential ...

The aim of Coppola’s study is to test that assertion. The neuroscientist’s research breaks the human brain down to three ...

A natural compound present in the brain shows promise in reducing stroke damage by protecting the blood-brain barrier and lowering inflammation. DMT, short for dimethyltryptamine, is a naturally ...

Scientists mapped brain development before birth, revealing DNA changes linked to autism and schizophrenia risk.

A new study examines the evolutionary connection between the fine manipulation of objects and the associated development of ...

The findings suggest Homo sapiens could have begun to emerge over 1 million years ago, much earlier than previously believed.

New research shows that DMT, a natural psychoactive compound found in plants and the human brain, can protect against stroke damage in animal and cell models.
