We, for one, welcome our new cuttlefish overlords.

A psychological study has revealed that surveillance increases a person's subconscious awareness of being watched, which affects how the brain processes sensory information. The research demonstrated that participants could detect faces quicker under surveillance without being consciously aware o

Lucy was a member of the species Australopithecus afarensis, an extinct hominin. Her discovery changed our understanding of evolution.

Exercise can have benefits at the level of neurons, through chemical and mechanical effects, MIT researchers find. The discovery could inform exercise-related therapies for repairing damaged and deteriorating nerves.

Childhood trauma can raise the risk of developing major diseases later in life that vary based on a person's unique experiences and even their sex, new research concludes. Why it matters: Although it's widely understood that trauma early in life has biological and real-world health impacts, the findings shed light on how different life experiences can shape the way the body functions and make a person susceptible to chronic diseases....

Einstein had dyslexia. Hemmingway had it, too. It can affect people their whole lives. New findings may lead to a fresh approach to the learning difficulty.

Researchers have made significant strides towards restoring brain function after someone has suffered a sudden cardiac arrest. The advancements came after Chinese scientists revived the brains of pigs that had gone without blood circulation for nearly an hour, and the secret to their success came from an unexpected source – the liver. Sudden cardia...

One team of experts believes this could be a major breakthrough. Not everyone is so sure.

Human echolocation repurposes parts of the brain’s visual cortex for sound, even in sighted people

How did life emerge on Earth? The age-old question has intrigued experts for years and now a study has hinted that rocky guests who visit us frequently might have carried the seeds of life.  Meteorites likely brought the building blocks of life to the primordial Earth from space, as per new evidence. Scientists are intrigued by the finding as this means that alien life exists somewhere in space.

COVID-19 patients who experienced loss of smell showed long-term brain changes, including structural thinning, decreased white matter integrity, and altered decision-making behavior, suggesting potential neurological consequences even after recovery.

The NOVA special’s claim is, “The split brain phenomenon suggests that there can be two separated minds, if you will, inside of a skull.”

Biologists Peter Noble and Alex Pozhitkov published their findings on biobots in the journal Physiology

Our species is especially vulnerable.

Here's what we know.

Scientists have pushed back LUCA’s origin by hundreds of millions of years.

To explain the origin of life, we need to understand how and where these building blocks form and under what conditions they spontaneously assemble themselves into more complex structures.

The Big Data Institute at the University of Oxford astonishingly shared per their research that we all may have some genetics rooted in Africa.
