Two studies published in the latest issue of Science have revealed that birds, reptiles, and mammals have developed complex ...

Scientists found that evolution led bird and mammal brains to evolve separately, using different genetic instructions.

"The reorganization of synapsid jaws through this time has long been known as a big step towards the evolution of mammals," added Dr. Armin Elsler, a collaborator on the study. "These changes don ...

In a new study published in Science, a Belgian research team explores how genetic switches controlling gene activity define ...

Three studies of the brain regions responsible for processing sensory information show that their neurons are and communicate ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team at the Center for Molecular Biology of Heidelberg University has investigated how similar ...

Scientists confirm that orcas and dolphins have lost the ability to return to dry land due to irreversible evolutionary ...

The brains of birds and mammals have diverged substantially during the course of evolution. A research team led by Prof. Dr Henrik Kaessmann at the ...

New studies show that bird and mammal brains evolved separately, with distinct genetic programs and developmental mechanisms.
