A new study constructs the first 3D single-cell brain atlas of the lamprey, uncovering the 450-million-year-old molecular ...

The human brain is one of the most complex structures in nature, but the brain's origins stretch back hundreds of millions of years. A new study using AI deep-learning models has revealed more about ...

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 ...

Deep within the dark caves of northeastern Mexico lives a fish that has spent hundreds of thousands of years adapting to a world without light. The blind Mexican cavefish (Astyanax mexicanus) has ...

The organization of the extant mammalian brain is influenced by development, evolutionary history and the environment. Ecological adaptations specifically have had a major role in shaping the ...

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

A paper in Molecular Biology and Evolution finds that the relatively high rate of autism-spectrum disorders in humans is likely due to how humans evolved in the past. The paper is titled "A general ...

Practical brain–computer interfaces should be able to decipher brain signals and dynamically adapt to brain fluctuations. This, however, requires a decoder capable of flexible updates with ...
