Comparing the human brain to both species meant we could not only assess which parts of our brain are unique to us, but also which parts are likely to be shared heritage with our non-human relatives.

Credit: Nature (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41586-025-08740-6 To bridge this gap, the researchers obtained a section of a frozen human brain and diced it into 703 3x3x3mm cubes, a size that corresponds ...

In a paper published in Science, Curtis et al. describe evidence of a well-defined RMS in the human brain. The authors stained sections of adult human brains with an antibody for proliferating ...

In the course of evolution, this interplay has led to the human brain being unique in its size and complexity. The newly gained insights not only provide a deeper understanding of the evolutionary ...

These birds have neurons that are activated when they produce specific vocalizations, similar to how neurons are activated in humans, though in a different region ...

Most studies comparing the human brain to that of other species focus on size. This can be the size of the brain, size of the brain relative to the body, or the size of parts of the brain to the rest ...
