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 ...

When a fruit fly gets dust on its body, it launches into a precise cleaning routine, sweeping and rubbing its legs in rhythmic strokes that look almost mechanical. Scientists have long assumed that ...

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 ...

Whether the treatment of rhythmic and periodic electroencephalographic (EEG) patterns in comatose survivors of cardiac arrest improves outcomes is uncertain. We conducted an open-label trial of ...

A recent study published in the Annals of Neurosciences suggests that practicing a specific type of sound-based meditation can quiet electrical brain activity while simultaneously increasing a ...

Bumblebees are incredibly smart. I mean, I'm sure they could do my job. Even though their brains are just the size of a sesame seed, bumblebees can do math, play soccer and recognize faces. Now ...

Your heart has been doing its job faithfully for years, beating steadily in the background while you go about your daily life. Then suddenly, you become acutely aware of every beat as it seems to ...

A new study saying bumblebees can recognize rhythmic patterns puts them alongside Ronan the sea lion, the first non-human mammal shown to keep a beat. Bumblebees are incredibly smart. I mean, I'm sure ...
