Dan M. Mrejeru presents an exploration of how environmental forces and cognitive shifts shaped the modern human mind ...

For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Study argues to move beyond ‘reading genes’ — focus on conserved neural-development networks in humans to improve early screening and identify therapeutic leads.

Significant brain defects known as Chiari malformations could be down to the genes some of us have inherited from Neanderthals, according to a new study, causing a mismatch between brain shape and ...

Modern humans and Neanderthals shared a common ancestor, lived side by side in parts of Eurasia, and even had children together, yet their faces ended up strikingly different. The contrast between our ...

A new Simon Fraser University-led study reveals interbreeding between humans and their ancient cousins, Neanderthals, as the likely origin of a neurological condition estimated to impact up to one per ...

Unlike most frontier neuroscience projects that rely primarily on state funding, this one has been built through a rare mix ...
