A significant, long-term reduction in calorie consumption resulted in a slowing of aging in the brain, according to a study ...

A calorie-restricted diet could slow down the aging that naturally happens in the brain as we get older, according to a new ...

Monkeys with brain implants were trained to move a robot arm with their thoughts, a key advance by researchers who hope one day to allow paralyzed people to perform similar tasks. A series of ...

Metformin is the main first-line drug used to treat type 2 diabetes, but a new study on monkeys suggests it could one day be used to slow brain aging, too. But metformin's anti-aging effects were yet ...

A new study suggests that restricting calorie intake over a lifetime may slow the biological aging of support cells in the ...

In the brain, not all blood flow is created equal. RIKEN researchers have developed a detailed cortical layer map of the blood vessels that weave through the brain of macaque monkeys. It reveals how ...

Chinese scientists have implanted human brain genes into monkeys, in a study intended to provide insights into the unique evolution of human intelligence. Researchers inserted human versions of MCPH1, ...

In a first-ever demonstration of a two-way interaction between a primate brain and a virtual body, two monkeys trained at the Duke University Center for Neuroengineering learned to employ brain ...

Your fantasy of getting a handjob from Lee Majors is one step closer to reality, thanks to this new robot arm controlled by thought alone. Scientists at University of Pittsburgh have successfully ...

The unexpected rhythm of macaque monkey skills raise fresh questions about where our own sense of beat comes from.

But it's still preliminary. Monkey data don't always apply to humans, and it remains to be seen whether the ECS-induced neurogenesis in primates can also be induced by drugs. The other fundamental ...

Monkeys with brain implants were trained to move a robot arm with their thoughts, a key advance by researchers who hope one day to allow paralyzed people to perform similar tasks. A series of ...
