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

Placozoans, animals so simple they look like blobby pancakes, have been found to contain cells that may hold the ancestors of modern neurons. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

A groundbreaking new study from Bar-Ilan University shows that one of sleep's core functions originated hundreds of millions ...

Scientists have developed a pioneering new method that uses deep learning and a new technique called 'targeted augmentation' to track neurons in moving and deforming animals. Recent advances allow ...

Here’s something new to consider being thankful for at the dinner table: the long evolutionary journey that gave you your big brain and your long life. All these bequests of your bigger brain cortex ...
