A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...
A pioneering study provides new evidence that gut microbes vary across primate species and can shape physiology in ways ...
The microorganisms in our gastrointestinal tract-the gut microbiome, can exert a profound influence on the human body, and ...
Inflammatory gut bacteria that carry proteins structurally similar to myelin may trigger the development and progression of ...
Researchers uncover evidence that the gut microbiome and brain connection can influence brain gene expression and neural ...
In the mice with large-brain primate microbes, the researchers found increased expression of genes associated with energy production and synaptic plasticity, the physical process of learning in the ...
Synaptic plasticity allows brains to learn, adapt, and rewire. It’s foundational to memory, problem-solving, and complex ...
New research from reveals that the gut microbiome regulates the body's diurnal (day-night) rhythms in stress hormones. Depletion of gut microbiota results in disruptions in the brain's core circadian ...
