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 ...

Using EEG electrodes attached to the scalps of 25 student subjects, researchers have tapped the rhythm of memories as they occur in near real time in the human brain. The new findings show that EEG ...

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 ...

A precise rhythm of electrical impulses transmitted from cells in the inner ear coaches the brain how to hear, according to a new study. The ear generates spontaneous electrical activity to trigger a ...

In the 17 th century, the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens hanged two of his recently invented pendulum clocks on a wooden beam and observed that as time passed, the clocks aligned their beats. He ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Experiments on the activity rhythms of Microtus show that it has a short 2- to 4-hour rhythm of feeding activity and a longer 24-hour rhythm ...

New research shows that rhythmic brain activity is key to temporarily maintaining important information in memory. Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of ...

Washington [US], April 26 (ANI): According to new study, rhythmic brain activity is essential for temporarily maintaining critical information in memory. Brain rhythms--or patterns of neural activity- ...

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 ...
