This internal left-right asymmetry is believed to begin at the very early stage of development -- when a tiny embryo is divided into two parts during a process called gastrulation. This process ...

Neurons found in one of the oldest regions of the brain may control when we stop eating a meal, new research in mice hints.

Discover how individual neurons in the brain learn to recognize and predict patterns in the flow of time, providing insights into the structure of time.

Most animals, including humans, have bilateral symmetry, which means our bodies are pretty symmetrical. At least on the ...

Some great apes realize when a human partner doesn’t know something and are capable of communicating information to them to ...

The amount of microplastics in the human brain appears to be increasing over time: Concentrations rose by roughly 50 percent ...

Microplastics are everywhere. Now, a new study says the average human brain may contain a spoonful of plastic.

Our brains are increasingly plastic. Minuscule shards and flakes of polymers are surprisingly abundant in brain tissue, a study of postmortem brains shows.
