Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...
Humans developed large brains and flatter faces at an exceptionally quick rate compared to other apes, according to new research from UCL scientists. The study suggests that these rapid changes may ...
Summary: A global study of vertebrates reveals that body temperature is the key driver behind brain size evolution. Warm-blooded species like mammals and birds can maintain the energy demands of ...
New research from Johns Hopkins Medicine shows that the enzyme biliverdin reductase A (BVRA) plays a direct protective role against oxidative stress in neurons, independent of its role producing the ...
According to neuroscientist Ben Rein’s new book, Why Brains Need Friends, it comes down to our brains. As he explains in the book, that grey matter in our heads is exquisitely optimized for social ...
A giraffe's long legs aren't just for height, they save energy by reducing how hard the heart works to pump blood upward ...
Anthropologist Christopher Bae has recently suggested we add two new species of ancient human to our family tree. The plans break the conventions for how species should be named – but Bae argues the r ...

Crows and monkeys show mental shortcuts when judging numbers
For centuries, humans have assumed that our thinking errors set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. From misjudging ...
A breakthrough in neuromorphic computing could lower the energy consumption of chips and accelerate progress toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). Researchers from the USC Viterbi School of En ...
Vedantam, a veteran science reporter, joins WHYY’s Jennifer Lynn to explore how unseen mental forces shape our choices, and why the show continues to resonate with listeners.
Using single-cell RNA sequencing and genetic screening, the researchers identified key surface proteins that mediate ...
