Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...
Much of the phenotypic variation that is observed within and between species is the result of differences in gene regulation: specifically when, where and how much the genes are expressed. Given the ...
Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...
A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
By transplanting gut microbes from humans, squirrel monkeys and macaques into germ-free mice, scientists reveal that ...
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 ...
Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...
Northwestern University research has provided direct experimental evidence that gut microbes influence brain function and ...
Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...
