Human cognitive performance can be significantly influenced by the presence of audience members. While often associated with reputation management, which...
The number zero holds a special status among numbers, indispensable for developing a comprehensive number theory. Despite its importance in mathematics,...
Named Youti yuanshi, the newly-identified euarthropod species fills an important gap in our understanding of how the arthropod body plan originated and...
Episodic memory and mental time travel have been viewed as uniquely human traits. This view began to shift with the development of behavioral criteria...
University of Michigan anesthesiologist Kamran Diba and colleagues have found that during sleep, some neurons not only replay the recent past but also...
In a new cross-sectional and longitudinal study, researchers from the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital investigated the effects of dietary...
Large theropods were as smart as reptiles but not as intelligent as monkeys, according to new research led by University of Bristol paleontologists.
Tyrannosaurus...
During sleep, sporadically, it is possible to find neural patterns of activity in areas of the avian brain that are activated during the generation of...
The idea of growing a functioning human brain-like tissue in a dish has always sounded pretty far-fetched. Towards this goal, researchers at the University...
Black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus), small North American passerine birds that live in deciduous and mixed forests, have extraordinary memories...
Neuroscientists at the University of Michigan have identified a thermoreceptor that mediates cold sensing in somatosensory neurons.
GluK2 KO mice are defective...
Individual neurons coordinate to produce rhythmic waves that propel fluid through dense brain tissue, washing the tissue in the process, according to new...
The hindbrain of both sea lampreys and humans is built using an extraordinarily similar molecular and genetic toolkit, according to new research led by...
Biologists from Altos Labs-Cambridge Institute of Science, the University of Cambridge and elsewhere have found that a retrovirus-derived genetic element...
The classic understanding of brain organization is that perceptual regions of the brain represent the world ‘as it is,’ with the brain’s visual cortex...
A strange phenomenon called visual masking can reveal the timescale of perception, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood.
The colored plots...
In a largely sleep-deprived society, quantifying the effects of sleep loss on emotion is critical for promoting psychological health. In a new systematic...
