Study concludes evolution of uniquely human DNA was a balancing act
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The difference between humans and chimpanzees lies in only one per cent of their DNA. Human accelerated regions (HARs) are parts of the genome with an unexpected amount of these differences. HARs were stable in mammals for millennia but quickly changed in early humans.

Researchers find ketamine can increase brain noise
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
An international team of researchers has found that ketamine, being an NMDA receptor inhibitor, increases the brain's background noise, causing higher entropy of incoming sensory signals and disrupting their transmission between the thalamus and the cortex.
