Brain area thought to impart consciousness, behaves instead like Internet router: Research

15-Nov-2022
The legendary scientist Francis Crick first postulated in 2005 that the brain region known as the claustrum is the seat of consciousness. Researchers now posit that Crick may have been incorrect: They developed a new theory built on data that the claustrum behaves more like a high-speed Internet router, taking in executive commands from 'boss' areas of the brain's cortex that forms complex thoughts to generate 'networks' in the cortex.

Dogs trace ancestry to two separate wolf populations, study reveals

29-Jun-2022
Washington [US], June 29 (ANI): According to a new study by an international group of geneticists and archaeologists of the Francis Crick Institute, have discovered that the ancestry of dogs can be traced to at least two populations of ancient wolves. The study revealed the answer to the most asked questions about human prehistory by stepping closer to uncovering the mystery of where dogs underwent domestication.

Subcellular map of complete brain network developed by scientists

28-May-2022
London [England], May 28 (ANI): An imaging technology that collects information on the shape and brain tissue function at the subcellular level, i.e. a few billionths of a metre, as well as information about the surrounding environment, has recently been developed by researchers at the Francis Crick Institute.

Research: Quantum mechanics might explain why DNA mutates spontaneously

09-May-2022
Washington [US], May 9 (ANI): Even though DNA replicates with astounding precision, it's not immune to mistakes and can lead to mutations. Using sophisticated computer modelling, a team of physicists and chemists at the University of Surrey have shown that such errors in copying can arise due to the strange rules of the quantum world.

Study finds immune system’s response to tissue damage linked to cancer spread

25-Feb-2022
London [UK], February 25 (ANI): The spread of cancer around the body is a complex process. Researchers have uncovered how a process involved in the regeneration of tissue damaged by radiation can aid the spread of cancer.
