Resaerchers found that a specific fungus can recognize shapes, and communicate information about their surroundings throughout their network.
Recent studies demonstrated that the relationship between brain structure and intelligence not only involves grey matter, but also white matter - the brain's wiring system.
Researchers found that males, old people and low-income people may actually be losing more like a few years of education the longer they breathed dirty air.
Researchers identified 538 genes that play a role in intellectual ability. They also found 187 regions in the human genome that are linked to thinking skills.
Investigators have discovered dozens of new genetic variations associated with a person's general cognitive ability. While profiling cognitive ability, researchers also discovered a genetic overlap with longevity.
Do social pressures cause the evolution of big brains? The debate is ongoing.
Scientists have discovered 40 new genes that appear to be linked to intelligence. The find could help to understand how the brain develops key functions associated with thinking.
A long-term study of 565 children who grew up in the era of leaded gasoline has shown that their exposure to the powerful neurotoxin led to a loss of intelligence and occupational standing by the time they reached age 38.
Human intelligence is being defined and measured for the first time ever. The more variable a brain is, and the more its different parts frequently connect with each other, the higher a person's IQ and creativity are.
Parents' beliefs about whether failure is a good or a bad thing guide how their children think about their own intelligence, according to new research. The research indicates that it's parents' responses to failure, and not their beliefs about intelligence, that are ultimately absorbed by their kids.
Evolution may be more intelligent than we thought, according to a University of Southampton professor. Professor Richard Watson says new research shows that evolution is able to learn from previous experience.
For the first time ever, scientists have identified clusters of genes in the brain that are believed to be linked to human intelligence.
