The neural control of rhythmic arm and leg movements encompasses the integration of central and peripheral pathways that coordinate locomotion and complex motor tasks. These processes involve both ...

The research team revealed that the coral generates rhythmic opening and closing movements of the tentacles surrounding its mouth through a distributed neural pacemaker system. In other words, the ...

A joint study by Tel Aviv University and the University of Haifa set out to solve a scientific mystery: how a soft coral is able to perform the rhythmic, pulsating movements of its tentacles without a ...

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 ...

For decades, psychology departments around the world have studied human behaviour in darkened laboratories that restrict natural movement. Our new study, published today in Nature Communications, ...

Neuroscientists discovered the mechanism underlying the oscillator circuit that controls the rhythmic extension and retraction of whiskers in mice. Many of our bodily functions, such as walking, ...

Synchronization abounds in nature: from the flashing lights of fireflies to the movement of fish wriggling through the ocean, biological systems are often in rhythmic movement with each other. The ...
