Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be the result of millions of years of evolution. Rapid neuronal evolution in humans is likely ASD’s genetic cause, new research suggests. Though autism can cause ...
Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...
(CN) — Hormones in the womb may hold hidden clues to why humans evolved with bigger brains and better social skills than our ancient ancestors. Scientists from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford ...
This volume is based on the Arthur M. Sackler Colloquium of the National Academy of Sciences, “In the Light of Evolution VI: Brain and Behavior,” held January 20-21, 2012, at the Arnold and Mabel ...
What unique processes conspire to create a healthy, functional human brain? How can we be so genetically similar to, say, chimpanzees, and yet be light-years more sophisticated cognitively and ...
At first glance, the human brain might appear to be a marvel of engineering—a seamless interface for sensory input, cognitive control, and motor output. But if you peer beneath its sophisticated ...
