New research shows that rhythmic brain activity is key to temporarily maintaining important information in memory. Researchers found brain rhythms -- or patterns of neuronal activity -- organize the ...

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 ...

Rhythmic electrical activity in the retina (known as pathological oscillations) has been observed in several eye diseases, including congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and retinitis ...

Mentor: Dawn Blitz, Ph.D. Central pattern generators (CPGs) are the neural circuits responsible for rhythmic behaviors. Some activities may be spontaneously and perpetually active (e.g., breathing), ...

It has long been known that oscillatory neural activity is a key factor for attentional selection in the mammalian brain. Scientists have now investigated how this works. They found that coupling ...

Central pattern-generating networks produce the rhythmic motor discharges that underlie many repetitive movements, such as those in locomotion, respiration and feeding 1. Synaptic inhibition is ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar, in collaboration with Sri Sri Institute of Advanced Research and Fortis Escort Heart Institute, report that rhythmic breathing in ...

Rhythm is a central component of music. Rhythm refers to the absolute timing of individual notes or sounds. The ability to perceive and produce rhythm enables people to make music. Research has shown ...

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 ...
