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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 new study suggests that stronger patterns of daily activity and rest, known as rest-activity rhythms, can strengthen ...

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 ...

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 ...
