Researchers find gut-brain connection for social development
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control social behaviour, new UO research in zebrafish shows. Pruning is essential for the development of normal social behavior.

Human evolution wasn't just sheet music, but how it was played: Research
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
A team of Duke researchers has identified a group of human DNA sequences driving changes in brain development, digestion and immunity that seem to have evolved rapidly after our family line split from that of the chimpanzees, but before we split with the Neanderthals.
