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 ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them.

Entrainment has been studied in a variety of contexts including music perception, dance, verbal communication, and motor coordination more generally. Here we seek to provide a unifying framework that ...

While listening to music, our ability to feel internalized rhythms and generate rhythmic movements synchronized with a song's beat relies on the cerebellum and basal ganglia's striatum working in ...

A study explores how sound induces rhythmic movement in chimpanzees. Music influences rhythmic movement in humans, suggesting a link between the brain's auditory and motor areas. Understanding ...

The research team revealed that the coral generates rhythmic opening and closing movements of the tentacles surrounding its mouth through a distributed neural pacemaker system. In other words, the ...

Spinal cord transection at T6 level allows the expression of a rhythmic motor pattern in the perineal genital muscles, which coincides with the potent expulsion of urethral contents. 8, 9 This ...

Mentor: Dawn M. Blitz, Ph.D. Central pattern generators (CPGs) are circuits that generate rhythmic motor outputs which govern rhythmic behaviors. CPG core rhythmic activity is based on intrinsic and ...

Do you ever feel like your body is screaming for a timeout, but you just keep pushing through? For neurodivergent women, the nonstop pressure to fit in, hold it together, or mask sensory overload can ...
