Drexel University researchers reveal that while evolution may have allowed for bigger brains, some regions may not have kept up with the growth.
Study reveals how the mechanism for storing olfactory memories differs slightly from erasing unnecessary memories. Understanding how the brain gets rid of unimportant memories could help unlock new avenues of research to better understand memory loss in aging, researchers say.
Researchers investigate fruit fly brains to discover the connection between eating, sleep and activity.
Study identifies new patterns of gene expression that drives long-term memory formation.
According to a new study, as social behavior evolved, brain regions for central cognitive processing shrank in social insect species.
