How does the human brain process social cues in virtual reality? This is what a recent study published in eNeuro hopes to address as a team of researchers from Sapienza University in Italy ...

The relatively narrow human birth canal presumably evolved as a 'compromise' between its abilities for parturition, support of the inner organs, and upright walking. But not only the size of the birth ...

Neurologist Christopher Walsh discovered genes that direct cerebral cortex development. We asked him what they reveal about intelligence, psychiatric disorders, and the nature of being human ...
