The team calculated that the mosquitoes likely developed their “ anthropophily ”—their taste for human blood—at a point some ...

Mosquitoes have been biting people for more than a million years and probably much longer. An analysis of 38 modern mosquitoes’ DNA suggests an ancestral mosquito species developed a preference for ...

Researchers develop synthetic markers that cross the blood-brain barrier, allowing for noninvasive monitoring of the living brain via blood tests.

In Southeast Asia, mosquitoes in the Anopheles genus range from species that prefer humans to species that favor other primates, such as gibbons and orangutans. By sequencing DNA from 11 mosquito ...

"Primate mothers are some of the best mothers you will find in the animal kingdom," one expert said. So what happened with ...

Forty-Hz auditory stimulation increased amyloid clearance markers in aged primates and produced lasting effects, supporting its potential as a non-invasive Alzheimer’s therapy. Scientists at the Kunmi ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Born Free, the wildlife charity, has warned that Punch's viral fame could do more harm than good—for him and for his species.

A new streamlined AI model accurately predicts primate visual neuron responses while exposing how simple features combine ...

Humans differ from other primates due to their relatively large, permanent breasts, and their development has so far not been conclusively explained. According to a study conducted at the University ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

Researchers use compressed AI models to discover "dot-detecting" neurons in the macaque visual cortex, offering a new path for Alzheimer’s therapy.
