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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...

Researchers reveal how gut microbes shape metabolic strategies to fuel larger brains, offering a glimpse into the evolutionary biology of primates. Putative model for microbial influences on the ...

Compared to other large primates, humans have unusually big brains. Now, scientists have suggested that the large size of our brains may have been influenced by the gut microbiome. The microbes in the ...

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