Scientists have successfully grown a monkey brain to be larger than its regular size by using a human brain gene, replicating that historical moment when humans and primates were set apart.

Neuroscientists at UCL have used laser beams to “switch on” neurons in mice, providing new insight into the hidden workings of memory and showing how memories underpin the brain’s inner GPS system.

Some patients with severe brain injury show short-term neurological improvements, such as recovery of consciousness, motor function, or speech after a…
