For centuries, people have wondered what separates being awake from being asleep, dreaming, or unconscious. Scientists have ...

Neuropsychology researchers at LMU have discovered a rhythm in the midbrain that could serve as a biophysiological signature ...

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 ...

A well-trained athlete sprinting 100 yards performs a highly stereotyped, repetitive motor pattern. Neuroscientists understand that these rhythmic motor programs, such as walking, swimming and running ...

Bumblebees are incredibly smart. I mean, I'm sure they could do my job. Even though their brains are just the size of a sesame seed, bumblebees can do math, play soccer and recognize faces. Now ...

Biological rhythms aren't just for sleep. In the tiny worm C. elegans, researchers in the Grosshans lab and the Computational Biology Platform of the Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical ...

Rhythmic movements, such as walking, chewing or scratching, are phylogenetically old motor behaviors found in many organisms, ranging from insects to primates. In contrast, discrete movements, such as ...

If animals could be nominated for Grammys, these lemurs could win. That’s because they’ve got rhythm. The Indri indri, a species of lemur in Madagascar, is one of a few animal species with rhythm, ...
