One of the defining features of human evolution is the steady expansion of our brains. New findings suggest this growth may be partly linked to higher levels of estrogen before birth. Surprisingly, a ...

Newborn finger proportions may reflect early hormone exposure and could be linked to differences in early brain growth.

Human evolution has long been tied to growing brain size, and new research suggests prenatal hormones may have played a surprising role. By studying the relative lengths of index and ring fingers — a ...

New research suggests that hormones before birth may have played a role in the development of the human brain.

Researchers researchers bring noninvasive EEG-based BCI one step closer to everyday use by demonstrating real-time brain decoding of individual finger movement intentions and control of a dexterous ...

image: Can the human brain think of an independent, artificial appendage as its own? While many studies have explored this question, the artificial limbs used in them have been operated by an existing ...

“Dawson’s fingers” describes a specific appearance that can appear on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) diagnostic testing. They most commonly occur in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). The ...

Finger agnosia is the inability to recognize and distinguish your fingers or someone else’s. It may appear alone or it may be combined with other conditions as part of Gerstmann syndrome. Agnosia is ...
