Gut Microbes may have helped fuel the evolution of large human brains, shaping brain metabolism and gene activity, new ...

Bar-Ilan University research shows even jellyfish and sea anemones repair DNA during repose, underscoring the fact that a ...

A new study from Northwestern University is reshaping how scientists think about brain evolution. The research suggests that ...

Yet, jellyfish tend to sleep through the night like humans, and even nap around midday. Meanwhile, their close relative, the ...

In jellyfish and sea anemones, neurons accumulate DNA damage while animals are awake and repair that damage during sleep.

A groundbreaking new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep’s core functions originated hundreds of millions of years ago in jellyfish and sea anemones, among the earliest creatures ...

A fish thought to be evolution’s time capsule just surprised scientists. A detailed dissection of the coelacanth — a 400-million-year-old species often called a “living fossil” — revealed that key ...

A team at Carnegie Mellon University is helping kids understand artificial intelligence with a soft, squishy, LED-lit neural network. Biological components are less reliable than electrical ones, and ...

Researchers in Alberta uncovered a fossil fish that rewrites the evolutionary history of otophysans, which today dominate freshwater ecosystems. The new species, Acronichthys maccognoi, shows early ...
