Researches have inserted a gene into mice that couldn’t smell which restores their ability to perceive odors.

Crosstalk between two halves of a brain region has shown to be linked to arithmetic ability.

Why do women stop reproducing around the age of 50? Conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in law could explain this to an extent, according to evolutionary theory.

How much can our brain take in while we are sleeping? New experiments have shown that our brain can process smells and sounds that are presented during sleep, and remember this information on waking up.

A protein in male semen can act on the female brain stimulating it to produce eggs.

Books in a few decades might not be stored in their physical forms, or even in soft copies, but stored in the very molecules that design our body- DNA.

Researchers have discovered a hitherto unknown network of channels in the brain that help carry out excess proteins and solutes from brain tissue. These channels could be manipulated to control the movement of drugs, or harmful substances in disease.

A singing mouse is being studied to identify the functions of a gene that plays a role in human language. Of mice and men, indeed!

The discovery of a new human-like fossil suggests that our ancestral species might have had cousins of their own.

A new bird species has been discovered in the Andes mountains and has been called Capito fitzpatricki

Women are known to live 5 to 10 years longer than men. One of the reasons for this asymmetery lies in genes inherited from our mothers.

It has long been known that molecules within living organisms also possess the property of asymmetry, also called chirality.. An excess of ‘L’ amino acids, thought to be a property of life, have now been found in meteorites, which represent the universe before the origins of life.

Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory is different from ordinary good memory, and has been linked to a difference in the structure of the brain.

Our solar system now has a cousin! Astrophysicists at the MIT have discovered another planetary system that resembles ours. Like in our solar system, the orbits of planets around the Kepler-30 star lie in a single plane.

Recent experiments by researchers at Columbia University and New York University are showing that recognizing a familiar object versus creating a new memory is influenced by incidents prior to the decision, i.e. prior incidents bias our brain either towards forming a new memory or towards recalling an existing one.
