The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...
Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...
A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...
In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...
Encephalization — the increase in brain size relative to the body — is a key feature in human evolution, but exactly how this process occurred is still unclear. Looking at studies comparing the ...
Researchers mapped the brain connectivity of 960 individuals to uncover how fast and slow neural processes unite to support complex behavior.
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.
