          Human Brains Evolved Gradually, Not in Sudden Leaps

          A new study reveals that modern humans, Neanderthals, and other relatives evolved larger brains through gradual changes within each species, overturning the idea of sudden leaps in brain size. Researchers used the largest-ever fossil dataset spanning 7 million years and advanced statistical methods to reconstruct brain size evolution.

          Largest Animals Have Smaller Brains Than Expected

          Researchers studied brain and body sizes from 1,500 species, finding that larger animals do not have proportionally bigger brains, challenging long-held beliefs. The study reveals that the brain-body size relationship is curved, not linear. This discovery helps explain why humans and other species deviate from the norm in brain size evolution. The findings provide a simpler model for studying brain evolution across mammals.

          Alzheimer’s Brain Barrier Damage Theory Could Pave Way for New Treatments

          Lipids entering the brain as a result of damage to the blood-brain barrier may be a determining cause of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say simple lifestyle changes could reduce Alzheimer's risks by reducing the impact on the BBB and decrease Alzheimer's associated brain damage.
