A new study uses optogenetics to induce localized sleep in awake mice, reversing memory loss from sleep deprivation.

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 ...

We effortlessly identify sensory inputs on the basis of temporal patterning alone (for instance, different Morse code symbols) and as effortlessly produce motor outputs with widely differing temporal ...

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are groups of neurons that produce rhythmic patterned outputs, even when they receive non-rhythmic input. CPGs do not need sensory feedback to generate rhythmic ...

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 ...
