Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...

Scientists have long suspected that the trillions of microbes in our intestines do more than digest lunch, but new work goes ...

The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...

The human brain is a greedy organ. It gulps energy, demands constant upkeep, and somehow grew far larger (relative to body ...

New research shows gut bacteria can directly influence how the brain develops and functions. When scientists transferred ...

A groundbreaking new study reveals that changes to the gut microbiome can change the way the brain works. Humans have the largest relative brain size of any primate, but little is known about how ...

The pelvis is often called the keystone of upright movement. It helps explain how human ancestors left life on all fours ...

The evolutionary journey from primitive plesiadapiforms to early primates during the Paleocene and Eocene epochs represents a critical chapter in mammalian history. Fossil records from these periods ...

Primate locomotion and evolution encompass the diverse adaptations that have enabled primates to negotiate complex arboreal environments. Throughout their evolutionary history, primates have acquired ...

A groundbreaking study has traced the 66-million-year evolutionary history of primates and overturned conventional thought that our ancestors originally inhabited warm tropical forests. Using advanced ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. ­­ ­ ­­— Saliva is a bodily fluid most of us take for granted despite the significant roles it plays: aiding in digestion, maintaining strong teeth and defending against oral disease.
