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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...
In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...
New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...
Pea-size clusters of human cells called brain organoids inspire both hope and fear. Experts are debating how scientists can ...
