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 ...

A new study uses optogenetics to induce localized sleep in awake mice, reversing memory loss from sleep deprivation.

Interestingly, studies in various animal models have shown that time-restricted feeding — a natural non-pharmaceutical intervention — protects against obesity, aging and circadian disruption in ...

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are groups of neurons that produce rhythmic patterned outputs, even when they receive non-rhythmic input. CPGs do not need sensory feedback to generate rhythmic ...

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 ...

New Australian research shows bumblebees can learn and recognise rhythmic patterns across different tempos and even across senses. Humans are creatures of rhythms. As far as we know, humans have ...
