Study Reveals How Brain Cues Influence Poor Decisions And Risky Behaviour
This study helps understand why some people repeatedly make poor decisions and may be helpful in developing strategies to reduce unhealthy behaviour.

Study Reveals How The Brain Evolves Through Five Distinct Stages
The lead researcher added that the study is the first to identify major phases of how brain wiring changes across a human's lifespan.

Scientists Find Human Brain Develops In Five Key Stages From Birth To Old Age
The researchers stated that these stages reflect patterns of brain change.

Age At Autism Diagnosis Could Indicate Tendency For Mental Health Disorders, Says Study
Researcher have identified distinct patterns in the genes and development of those diagnosed in early childhood and those diagnosed later, typically from late childhood onwards.

Research Shows Twin Births Were Common in Ancient Primate Evolution
Research suggests that ancient primates, including early humans, typically gave birth to twins, a common trait in their evolutionary history. Over time, singletons became more prevalent due to the survival advantages of larger, more developed offspring. This shift is linked to the evolution of primates' larger brains and bodies, requiring more ener...

Mice VR Headsets Revolutionise Brain Activity Studies and Behavioural Research
Mice are now being equipped with specially designed virtual reality headsets, allowing researchers to study brain activity in immersive environments. Developed using affordable components, the "MouseGoggles" enable scientists to observe the mice's neural responses as they interact with virtual environments. The study opens new doors for understandi...

IIT Madras Captures Images Of Fetal Brain, World's Most Detailed Yet
In a breakthrough in understanding and studying the development of human brain, IIT Madras has released the most detailed, three-dimensional high-resolution images of the foetal brain.

New Child Fossil Teeth Reveal Why Humans Developed an Unusually Long Childhood
Research on fossil teeth from a 1.77-million-year-old early Homo specimen challenges the "big brain, long childhood" hypothesis. The study suggests that the extended childhood seen in humans may have evolved as a result of cultural transmission, not just brain growth. By analysing dental growth patterns, scientists show that Homo’s development wa...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...

Neuralink Implants the First Brain Chip in a Human; Elon Musk Says ‘Patient Recovering Well’
Elon Musk’s Neuralink has implanted a brain chip in a human for the first time. The co-founder revealed the development via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter) and added that the patient was recovering well. Musk also revealed that the first brain chip was named Telepathy and it will enable users to control a computer or a smartphone with jus...
