Rhythmic motor patterns are produced by specialised neural networks known as central pattern generators, which generate repetitive sequences of activity underlying functions such as locomotion, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, led by Wolf Singer, have made a new discovery in understanding fundamental brain processes. For the first time, the team ...

A recent study published in the Annals of Neurosciences suggests that practicing a specific type of sound-based meditation can quiet electrical brain activity while simultaneously increasing a ...
