Yale Scientists Just Cracked the DNA Code That Built the Human Brain
What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.
How the brain can miraculously switch off pain
It works by switching off nociceptors in the peripheral nervous system, and therefore preventing pain signals getting to the brain. This represents a potential new breakthrough in a world which has ...
Study sheds light on how the brain differentiates new stimuli from old ones
The cerebral cortex is the largest part of a mammal's brain, and by some measures, the most important. In humans in particular, it's where most things happen—like perception, thinking, memory storage ...
Boosting evolution: How humans unintentionally altered the skulls of pigs

From muscle to memory: New research uses clues from the body to understand signaling in the brain
New research shows that a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmitting signals in ...
