Brain tissue is among the most energetically costly in the body. As a result, larger-brained mammals require more energy to support brain growth and maintenance. But exactly which biological changes allowed human ancestors to meet the very high needs for energy as they evolved larger brains has remained unclear. A new Northwestern University study points to the role . . .
