Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

A new study reveals how AI-driven deep learning models can decode the genetic regulatory switches that define brain cell ...

The Noonan lab at Yale University is focused on understanding how HARs contribute to the evolution of uniquely human brain features.

Three studies of the brain regions responsible for processing sensory information show that their neurons are and communicate ...

Two studies published in the latest issue of Science have revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex ...

Retroviruses were required for vertebrate evolution to take off. If we didn’t have retroviruses sticking their sequences into the vertebrate genome, then myelination wouldn’t have happened ...

What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define brain cell types across species.

Deep learning models have shed light on how genetic switches controlling gene activity define brain cell types across species ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team at the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University has investigated how similar ...
