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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The timing of your sleep patterns could be linked to increased dementia risk, according to a new study. Each person's circadian rhythm, often defined as the body's internal 24-hour clock, keeps the ...

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 ...

Drum the tip of a finger on a typewriter key quickly "eeeeee." Now, stop and type "e" take a moment, type "e," take another moment, type "e" again. The motion in both cases is exactly the same, ...

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 ...

You don’t need to be a therapist to know common clinical terms like anxiety and depression. But terms like derealization and depersonalization remain strangely esoteric, evading popular discussions of ...

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 ...
