In a significant departure from earlier models, neural engineers and neuroscientists have developed a new model for the brain activity underlying arm movements. Motor neurons do not represent external ...

At its most fundamental level, a rhythmic pattern is the scaffolding upon which a musical composition rests. It manifests as a deliberate series of beats, accents, rests, and relative durations that ...

Unlike their visual cousins, the neurons that control movement are not a predictable bunch. Scientists working to decode how such neurons convey information to muscles have been stymied when trying to ...

A spinal pattern generator controls the ejaculatory response. Activation of this spinal generator elicits rhythmic motor patterns of the striated musculature that surrounds the genital tract that ...

Whether the treatment of rhythmic and periodic electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest improves outcomes is uncertain. We conducted an open-label trial of ...

When a fruit fly gets dust on its body, it launches into a precise cleaning routine, sweeping and rubbing its legs in rhythmic strokes that look almost mechanical. Scientists have long assumed that ...

New Australian research shows bumblebees can learn and recognise rhythmic patterns across different tempos and even across senses. Humans are creatures of rhythms. As far as we know, humans have ...

Humans are creatures of rhythms. As far as we know, humans have always sung and always danced. We can recognise a song by its rhythm alone, regardless of whether it is played fast or slow. We seem to ...

Rhythmic breathing allows you to slide easily into an effort and pace at which everything glides. In my early days on the run, I, like most, didn’t give any thought to breathing. But after dealing ...
