Our studies indicate that proverb

 Our studies indicate that the trend that is the defining characteristic of human evolution -- the growth of brain size and complexity -- is likely still going on. If our species survives for another million years or so, I would imagine that the brain by then would show significant structural differences from the human brain of today.

 Our studies indicate that the trend that is the defining characteristic of human evolution--the growth of brain size and complexity--is likely still going on. Meanwhile, our environment and the skills we need to survive in it are changing faster then we ever imagined. I would expect the human brain, which has done well by us so far, will continue to adapt to those changes.

 It's the old idea that the process of evolution is some push in the direction of greater complexity--in particular greater intellectual complexity. In one twig of the tree of life, namely ours, having a big brain happened to have advantages. But that's just what worked for a particular species of primate 5 to 7 million years ago.

 This research is significant because it suggests that it will be possible to create mouse 'models' of human brain tissue, enabling scientists to try out both stem cell interventions and other potential cures on living human brain cells without having to use humans in the process.

 In another 10,000 or 20,000 years, I think the human brain may acquire a form that is quite different than the human brain today. Not necessarily in its shape, which may remain relatively the same. But the function may be different. It may be, on average, a little smarter. Or it may acquire certain skills that in its current form it isn't well-equipped to handle -- advanced cognitive abilities such as abstract reasoning. We don't really know for sure how -- but we are still evolving.

 If we consider the superiority of the human species, the size of its brain, its powers of thinking, language and organization, we can say this: were there the slightest possibility that another rival or superior species might appear, on earth or elsewhere, man would use every means at his disposal to destroy it.
  Jean Baudrillard

 Our findings show that the brain areas activated when someone looks at a photo of their beloved only partially overlap with the brain regions associated with sexual arousal. Sex and romantic love involve quite different brain systems.

 The human brain is still undergoing rapid adaptive evolution,
  Howard Hughes

 The human brain functions as a high-speed Internet system. The quality of the brain?s connections is key to its speed, bandwidth, fidelity and overall on-line capability.

 Our ability to see is one of the great evolutionary accomplishments of the human brain. We still don't know how the visual system accomplishes this marvel of information processing. Such experiments are beginning to reveal how large networks of neurons in the brain extract meaning from the eye image.

 I was taught that the human brain was the crowning glory of evolution so far, but I think it's a very poor scheme for survival.
  Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

 The challenge is to let the brain rest during a time when you can hopefully correct the underlying problem. You're trying to save the healthy brain; you're not really doing anything for the brain that's already damaged.

 What we're most worried about is brain recovery. Anybody who suffers anoxic brain injury -- inadequate oxygen to the brain -- can develop a longtime disability.

 Humor is by far the most significant activity of the human brain
  Edward de Bono
