In a significant departure from earlier models, neural engineers and neuroscientists have developed a new model for the brain activity underlying arm movements. Motor neurons do not represent external ...

Brain activity suggests newborns can detect and predict patterns relating to rhythm, study says ...

Unlike their visual cousins, the neurons that control movement are not a predictable bunch. Scientists working to decode how such neurons convey information to muscles have been stymied when trying to ...

A spinal pattern generator controls the ejaculatory response. Activation of this spinal generator elicits rhythmic motor patterns of the striated musculature that surrounds the genital tract that ...

A rhythm is a pattern of long and short sounds. Rhythm is all around us in the cackle of kookaburras, the breaking of ocean waves, and the patterns of our own speech. This is the first in a series of ...
