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...
The mouse is the most commonly used vertebrate experimental model in neuroscience research, and the new atlas paves the way for a greater understanding...
New research shows that the small sounds generated within the ear by the brain contain accurate information about contemporaneous eye movements in the...
In a new paper published this month in the journal Diversity, paleontologists described the fossilized skeletons of the dolphin genus Xenorophus from the...
Soccer is an excellent social affiliation model, promoting inclusivity, teamwork, community spirit, social change, and personal achievement. Still, the...
Late-life dementia is a growing public health concern lacking effective treatment. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease develop over...
There is an active debate concerning the association of handedness and spatial ability. Past studies used small sample sizes. Determining the effect of...
