Rhythmic motor patterns are produced by specialised neural networks known as central pattern generators, which generate repetitive sequences of activity underlying functions such as locomotion, ...

Researchers at the Ernst Strüngmann Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, led by Wolf Singer, have made a new discovery in understanding fundamental brain processes. For the first time, the team ...

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

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 ...
