Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy ...

Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

Groundbreaking research reveals that human microbes can trigger genetic brain activity in other species, suggesting our ...

The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...

Analyzing fossils can be difficult -- especially when they're so small that they can only be seen with a microscope. Researchers have now come up with a solution. Fossils don't always come in large, ...

Northwestern University research has provided direct experimental evidence that gut microbes influence brain function and ...

There are "costs of life" that mechanical physics cannot calculate. A clear example is the energy required to keep specific ...

For more than a century, scientists have treated the brain as the undisputed command center of human evolution, with the rest ...
