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 ...
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 ...

Not everyone is Fred Astaire or Michael Jackson, but even those of us who seem to have two left feet have got rhythm--in our brains. From breathing to walking to chewing, our days are filled with ...
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 ...
Children with dyslexia often find it difficult to count the number of syllables in spoken words or to determine whether words rhyme. These subtle difficulties are seen across languages with different ...
A new study suggests that stronger patterns of daily activity and rest, known as rest-activity rhythms, can strengthen ...
