Scientists Put Human Gut Bacteria Into Mice and Found Their Brains Showed Primate-like Activity
Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...
Until Homo floresiensis was discovered, scientists assumed that the evolution of the human lineage was defined by bigger and bigger brains. Via a process called encephalization, human brains evolved ...

Gut microbes are reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution
A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
Human brains have been steadily growing through the decades, and that may be lowering the risk of dementia. A new study out of UC Davis Health found that people born in the 1970s had brain volumes ...
Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...
A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways associated with differences in brain size and cognitive function A new study sug ...
