The telencephalon is the part of the brain responsible for executive functions in fish, according to an experimental study published in PNAS Nexus. Zegni Triki and colleagues used guppies (Poecilia ...

The telencephalon is the most complex brain region, controlling communication, emotion, movement and memory. Its adult derivatives develop from the dorsal pallium and ventral subpallium. Despite ...

"We want to understand how the telencephalon evolves by looking at genetics and developmental pathways in closely-related species from natural populations," said Jonathan Sylvester, a postdoctoral ...

The embryonic telencephalon starts off as a simple sheet of neuroepithelial cells. This neuroepithelium becomes patterned into distinct proliferative zones that ultimately generate the different ...

The telencephalon is the part of the brain responsible for executive functions in fish, according to an experimental study. Zegni Triki and colleagues used guppies (Poecilia reticulata) that had been ...

A new study published in Nature suggests that the neural foundations of spatial navigation—the brain's internal "GPS"—may have emerged far earlier in evolution than previously believed. The research, ...

The relative sizes of specific parts of the guppy brain may explain why some fish are better at learning certain tasks than others. Zegni Triki, a biologist at Stockholm University, had an inkling ...

The prevalence of overweight and obesity is largely driven by the widespread availability of high-calorie and highly palatable foods. Even without feeling hungry, some people tend to eat food for the ...
