Researchers uncovered 214,516 unique isoforms in the developing neocortex -- over 70% of which have not been previously studied. A team led by researchers at UCLA and the University of Pennsylvania ...

Contrary to previous assumptions, nerve cells in the human neocortex are wired differently than in mice. Those are the findings of a new study conducted by Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and ...

What gives rise to human consciousness? Are some parts of the brain more important than others? Scientists began tackling these questions in more depth about 35 years ago. Researchers have made ...

Every year, the Darwin Awards honor “Charles Darwin, the father of evolution” by commemorating “those who improve our gene pool by removing themselves from it in the most spectacular way possible” ...

In the first blog in this series, we quoted this passage from Joyce Carol Oates’ novel, Unholy Loves: Making love with him in the customary dark, she had often thought, though every instinct in her ...
