In Newen and Montemayor’s evolutionary framework, basic arousal developed first. It’s like nature’s security alarm, warning ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch ...

Human brains do something peculiar when a chimpanzee screams or hoots. Instead of treating those sounds as generic animal ...

Compared to other animal species, humans can plan and execute highly sophisticated motor tasks, including the ability to write complex characters using their hands. While many past studies have tried ...

Human brains still react to chimp voices, hinting at a deep evolutionary link in how we recognize sound.

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Axons in the thalamus (pink) extended toward the cortex, while those in the cortex (green) extended toward the thalamus at 14 days post-fusion. A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the ...

Humans possess a remarkable balance between stability and flexibility, enabling them to quickly establish new plans and ...

Perhaps our most defining characteristic as a species, the six-layered human cortex, hosts billions of neural connections that bestow Homo sapiens with higher-order thinking. But how does this ...
