Despite not being able to talk, dogs process speech in the same way as humans do, according to a new study. Both dogs and human brains separately process the intonation – how a voice rises and falls – and the meaning of the words spoken. Hungarian researchers used functional MRI – measures brain activity by detecting changes … Read more

Close-up threats that invade your personal space activate the brain’s primitive ‘survival instinct’ and are more likely to trigger PTSD than those that are further away, study says Researchers saw evolutionary older parts of the brain activated for near threats But those at least ten feet away activated problem-solving areas of the organ They said … Read more
‘Mini brains’ grown from human stem cells containing Neanderthal DNA could shed light on how our ancient ancestors’ genes have influenced the development of our species They showed they can track the role of Neanderthal genes in the model organs The principle may be used with other bodily systems and ancient human species Around 2 … Read more
