Researchers in the United States and Spain have created living rodents with cerebral cortexes from healthy people to facilitate research into autism, schizophrenia, and epilepsy
A large-scale study analyzing more than a million people has found that the family environment plays a smaller role than previously thought in shaping traits such as curiosity and agreeableness
Harvard researchers have developed a model that makes it possible to study the brain at previously inaccessible stages of development, opening the door to more advanced research into diseases and potential treatments
The nocturnal, solitary ‘Leopardus pardinoides,’ recently recognized as a species, was recorded for the first time in Cochabamba
More than 3,000 genetic variants influence a person’s susceptibility to weight gain. That inherited risk has become even more significant due to environmental factors
Analysis of 27 genomes reveals more diverse, better-connected populations and challenges the idea that genetic decline caused their disappearance
DNA recovered from multiple cemeteries finds the oldest trace of plague already present in hunter-gatherer societies
Emotions, the passage of time, and mental associations directly shape how we recall moments that are not entirely faithful to reality. When there are gaps, the brain fills them in with information that fits our identity
A study shows obesity trends have diverged across regions over the past four decades, though it is too early for drugs such as Ozempic to have had a measurable impact
Experts warn of the imminent arrival of ‘El Niño’ on an already overheated planet
A study led by ISGlobal shows that the most disadvantaged areas are more vulnerable to extreme weather, especially to the cold
A new study shows that both Republicans and Democrats viewed more conservative content on social media in the weeks leading up to the poll
Numerous studies and experts link exposure to natural environments with a decrease in pain perception: ‘It modulates the autonomic nervous system, improves physical health, strengthens the immune system, and reduces cortisol levels’
Hundreds of individuals buried along Rome’s northern frontier challenge the idea of barbarian invasions: they had already been inside for centuries
Macaques ingest clumps of clay to help their digestive system process the sugars, fats, and dairy products from human snacks
It’s not about tolerating harmful behavior, manipulation or deception, but about understanding the function of lies, and addressing the underlying psychological need that sustains them
A study confirms a new case of long‑term remission following a stem cell transplant from a donor with a unique genetic mutation
Global light pollution is increasing, but in large areas of the planet, such as Europe, it is decreasing due to technological maturity and environmental awareness
Genetic analysis reveals that dogs already lived closely with Paleolithic humans and, in two sites, were buried in the same way as human dead
Research by Nobel laureate David Julius has captured how the TRPM8 protein changes when exposed to low temperatures, opening a new avenue for treating cold-induced pain
Survey of researchers demonstrates a lack of consensus when it comes to mortality’s biggest risk factor
The company employs a ‘red team’ that evaluates all artificial intelligence before its launch — and blocks its release if necessary
Scientific evidence has shown that is not a matter of willpower or a vice, but a mental disorder
‘Alnashetri cerropoliciensis’ belongs to a strange carnivorous lineage that refutes the idea of the progressive miniaturization of its group
A study identifies rare variants in a gene associated with reduced tobacco consumption
The model allows for the precise and complex modification of cells and molecules to cure diseases
An analysis of more than 36 million articles written by women shows that the gender gap in research is also reflected in specialized journals
