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 ...

Our movements may be controlled by two distinct networks in our brain, rather than just one. For nearly a century, we have known that the motor cortex – a thin strip of tissue that runs across the top ...

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 ...

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, ...

Speech rhythm, a key attribute of natural languages that directly influences the effectiveness and efficiency of communication, is often compromised in people with neurodegenerative diseases such as ...

Researchers have found that macaques can tap along to a musical beat and it upends the assumption that only animals with vocal-learning abilities can find and move to a groove. The research team also ...
