The pointy shell of sea urchins hides a remarkably complex neural network that resembles the brains of vertebrates, new research suggests. Reading time 2 minutes When it comes to taking hardcore ...

Differences between men and women in intelligence and behavior have been proposed and disputed for decades. Now, a growing body of scientific evidence shows hundreds of genes act differently in the ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

Advances in linear motors and hybrid actuators are pushing motion systems toward higher precision, speed and efficiency. A key part of achieving this performance is the integration of drives with ...

But why is that? What is it about our relationships that make them so central to our lives? According to neuroscientist Ben Rein’s new book, Why Brains Need Friends, it comes down to our brains. As he ...

Tell me about what you had for dinner last night. There are different ways you could fill in the details of that story. You could give perceptual descriptions of how your food looked and tasted. Or ...

The twisted teenager who allegedly beheaded his mom’s boyfriend in Staten Island scooped the victim’s brains out with a spoon and put them in a blender, police sources said. It wasn’t clear what ...

Pound-for-pound, the human brain is the body’s most metabolically costly organ, consuming 20% of our energy and accounting for an outsize portion of our anatomy compared with most other animals.

If you don’t know anything about neuroscience, that’s okay — one researcher’s striking theory might send us all back to the start anyway. Consciousness is typically defined as immediate awareness of ...
