New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...

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

Oxytocin receptor (Oxtr) signaling influences complex social behaviors in diverse species, including social monogamy in prairie voles. How Oxtr regulates specific components of social attachment ...

Our brain and eyes can play tricks on us—not least when it comes to the expanding hole illusion. A new computational model ...

Researchers have systematically detailed, step by step, how cognitive maps form in the brain's hippocampus -- a region responsible for learning and memory.

A new study led by researchers at Mass General Brigham suggests that different brain regions activated by creative tasks are part of one common brain circuit.

New research on microplastics in brains reminds us that while scientists compile safety data, our leaders should still act ...

The influenza A virus genome consists of eight segments of single-stranded, negative-sense viral RNA, which encode multiple ...

However, 86% of these studies reported coordinates that were part of a common brain circuit defined by negative functional ...

Researchers found a hidden mathematical rule in tree-like art. Branch thickness follows a predictable ratio, making trees recognizable.
