Recent research reveals that bumblebees can recognize and learn abstract rhythms, akin to humans. Traditionally believed to be unique to advanced brains, this study demonstrates bees' ability to ...

But our new research, published today in the journal Science, shows humans are not alone in mastering rhythm. Even the ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers has found it likely that bipedal dinosaurs swung their tails as they walked and ran to maintain their balance. In their paper published in the journal Science ...

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 ...

If animals could be nominated for Grammys, these lemurs could win.That's because they've got rhythm.The Indri indri, a species of lemur in Madagascar, is one of a few animal species with rhythm, ...

Brain activity suggests newborns can detect and predict patterns relating to rhythm, study says Newborn babies can anticipate rhythm in pieces of music, researchers have discovered, offering insights ...

Two-day-old babies can already sense when a musical beat is off, but their brains show little sign of tracking melodies. That’s the main finding from research that recorded brain activity in 49 ...

Scientists have long wondered when the sense of rhythm first takes shape in the developing brain. It’s been a difficult question to answer not least because studying this in foetuses is almost ...
