In common marmosets, the brain regions that process social interactions develop very slowly, extending until early adulthood, like in humans. During this time, all group members are involved in ...

A Japanese research team has successfully reproduced the human neural circuit in vitro using multi-region miniature organs ...

All vertebrate species have a pelvis, but only humans use it for upright, two-legged walking. The evolution of the human pelvis, and our two-legged gait, dates back five million years, but the precise ...

Camille Berthelot is in the Department of Genomes and Genetics, the Pasteur Institute, Paris Cité University, CNRS UMR 3525, INSERM UA12, F-75015 Paris, France. Using an exceptionally rare collection ...

Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under natural selection.

UCSF’s Program in Craniofacial Biology (PCB) brings together researchers to study the cellular and molecular mechanisms ...

Humans are the only primates that walk on two legs. Scientists believe that their uniquely shaped pelvis, the bones that connect the spine to the legs, makes this possible. However, researchers didn’t ...

In the latest research, led by experts at UT Southwestern, biologist Jun Wu identified a mouse cell protein named MAVS, which ...

Remnants of ancient viral pandemics in the form of viral DNA sequences embedded in our genomes are still active in healthy people, according to new research my colleagues and I recently published.

OpenAI Codex lead Alexandar Embiricos believes that the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is currently ...

As in humans, infants of common marmosets interact with several caregivers from birth and are thus exposed to intensive social interaction. The development of primate brains is shaped by various ...
