What makes people brain distinct from that of all other animals– including also our closest primate relatives? In an analysis of cell kinds in the prefrontal cortex of 4 primate species, Yale researchers identified species-specific– particularly human-specific– features, they report on Aug. 25th in the journal Science. And they discovered that what makes us human […]

Science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke’s 3rd law states that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Indika Rajapakse, Ph.D., is a believer. The engineer and mathematician now discovers himself a biologist. And he believes the charm of blending these 3 disciplines is crucial to unraveling how cells function. His latest development is a
