The large size of the cerebrum—especially the cerebral cortex—relative to the rest of the brain, is a uniquely human trait that conventional wisdom says makes us smarter than animals.

A pioneering study has provided unprecedented insights into the immune response following pig-to-human kidney xenotransplantation. The findings, presented today at the ESOT Congress 2025, mark a ...

New research proposes a unified theory of brain function based on criticality—a state where the brain teeters between order and chaos, allowing it to learn, adapt, and process information optimally.
