A fossil smaller than a human fingernail has revealed a complete ancient brain, turning a speck of stone into a detailed map ...

A fossilized larva dating back over half a billion years has been discovered with its brain, digestive system, and nerve ...

When studying how fossil hominids moved, researchers usually analyze the morphology of bones—which is crucial for understanding the evolution of bipedalism—focusing mainly on muscle insertion sites.

Every clonal raider ant lives a nearly identical life. Each new generation of these blind, queenless ants is born at the same time, eats the same things, lives in the same environment, and—as an ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed and tested a new 3D surface scanning approach that gives neurosurgeons even greater precision when operating deep inside the brain. The system aligns a patient's ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

It used to be thought that sea urchins only had a primitive nervous system, but new research has found that they are far more complex than that. The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are ...

Addion and the University of Innsbruck advance surgical education with life-like anatomical models that enhance the skill sets of medical professionals and improve patient outcomes Using Stratasys’ ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

European roboticists today released a powerful open-source artificial intelligence model that acts as a brain for industrial robots—helping them grasp and manipulate things with new dexterity. The new ...
