Comparing a map of the neurons in a nematode worm - the connectome - with a map of how signals travel across those neurons ...

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

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Data from a new study links a pair of duplicated genes to human brain features. The research provides a roadmap for scientists to gain a deeper understanding of brain function and evolution, as well ...

Certain proteins found in the human brain have long been known to be critical to controlling how brain cells communicate with each other. So-called GABA A receptors are proteins that control the flow ...

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology have uncovered a surprising truth about the speed of human thought: our brains process ideas at a rate of just 10 bits per second. Compared to the ...

The origin of humanity has been a long-debated and discussed topic amongst experts. A new study formulates a genetic model that gives some insights regarding the development of human anatomy, stated ...
