Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define ...

What makes the human brain unique? A Yale study unlocks new insights into genetic changes that shaped our evolution.

New research has revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex brain circuits independently, despite sharing a common ancestor. These findings challenge the traditional view of ...

Researchers discovered how genetic switches shaped human brain evolution by fine-tuning shared gene expression.

A new Yale study provides a fuller picture of the genetic changes that shaped the evolution of the human brain, and how the process differed from the evolution of chimpanzees. For the study ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team at the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University has investigated how similar ...
