Researchers at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, led by Wolf Singer, have made a new discovery in understanding fundamental brain processes. For the first time, the team ...

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 ...

Rhythmic motor patterns are produced by specialised neural networks known as central pattern generators, which generate repetitive sequences of activity underlying functions such as locomotion, ...

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

New research shows that newborns can anticipate rhythmic patterns in music just days after birth, suggesting rhythm is an innate human ability. While melody recognition develops later through exposure ...

Born to groove: Studies show newborns can anticipate rhythmic patterns in music, suggesting rhythm perception is hardwired from birth. Music-language link: Infants who detect musical rhythm well also ...

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 ...
