Scientists discovered that primates spot snakes quickly because their brains are specifically tuned to recognize snake scales ...

Humans and other primates are innately able to perceive fine details, vibrant colors and focus their attention on specific ...

At first, the spontaneous brain activity looked like waves with patchy spatial patterns. This patchy activity seems to be a general characteristic of primate brains. The spontaneous noise and the ...

Mice inoculated with the human gut microbiome had the highest fasting glucose, highest triglyceride levels, lowest ...

In a controlled lab experiment, researchers implanted microbes from two large-brain primate species (human and squirrel monkey), and one small-brain primate species (macaque), into mice.

“Variation in the gut microbiota is an unexplored mechanism in which primate metabolism could facilitate different brain-energetic requirements,” Amato said. [Related: We probably have big ...

Our ancient primate ancestors gave birth to twins. So, when did this evolutionary change in primate litter size occur? Modern ...

"As the authors acknowledge, a limitation of the study is that it included only three primate donors with varying brain sizes," Suzuki said. "It will be exciting to see whether this pattern holds ...
