Artificial intelligence may write award-winning essays and diagnose disease with remarkable accuracy, but biological brains still hold the upper hand in at least one crucial domain: flexibility.

Understanding how genes influence complex behaviors remains one of biology's most fascinating challenges. Now, however, in a recent study, researchers have compiled a comprehensive dataset documenting ...

Researchers have discovered how networks of neurons in fruit flies transform simple brain signals into coordinated actions. This sheds light on the neural mechanisms underlying complex behaviors for ...

As a psychologist and author specializing in the application of empirical research to clinical work, I am fascinated by the ways behavior research can be applied to understanding human psychology. I ...

I'd say if you think about it this almost has to be the case. Closely related species often behave in similar ways. Clearly if a large amount of difference in genetics were required in order to ...
