Scientists long have warned we’ll eventually reach the physical limits of what silicon chips can do. Beyond the energy required to power an ascendant artificial intelligence industry and endless ...

Researchers have used a new human reference genome, which includes many duplicated and repeat sequences left out of the original human genome draft, to identify genes that make the human brain ...

Have you ever stopped to reflect on the similarities we share with chimpanzees? Don't you think we have some similar features? Indeed, you're right - we share about 98.8 per cent of our DNA with them, ...

But here, we show that a region of the adult human brain, the anterior superior temporal gyrus, is also sensitive to non-human vocalizations," points out Leonardo Ceravolo. These findings reinforce ...

Scientists at the University of Amsterdam discovered that our brains automatically understand how we can move through different environments—whether it's swimming in a lake or walking a path—without ...

In the actual brain’s visual cortex, neurons are connected broadly and smoothly around a central point, with connection strength varying gradually with distance (a, b). This spatial connectivity ...

Modern humans are evolutionary survivors, thriving generation after generation while our ancient relatives died out. Now, new research into our brain chemistry suggests that an enzyme unique to Homo ...

Elon Musk’s Neuralink is now testing Blindsight brain implants on monkeys. The implant is to restore vision but also give superhuman abilities using infrared vision. So, will this turn humans into ...

By comparing the neural processing of vocalizations emitted by species close to humans, such as chimpanzees, bonobos and macaques, it is possible to observe what our brain shares, or does not share, ...
