A new study finds that sleep timing is linked to dementia risk, as people with weak circadian rhythms face a 2.5 times higher ...

Your daily rhythm may matter more for brain health than previously thought. Older adults with weaker, more disrupted activity ...

The results of a recent study suggest that people with a weaker or more irregular body clock, also known as circadian rhythm, ...

A new study published in Nature Neuroscience suggests that the human brain may organize its many cognitive functions by activating specific networks in a repeating, clock-like cycle. This rhythmic ...

"Blink and you'll miss it" isn't only for eyelids. The human brain also blinks, dropping a few frames of visual information here and there. Those lapses of attention come fast -- maybe just once every ...

Not everyone is Fred Astaire or Michael Jackson, but even those of us who seem to have two left feet have got rhythm--in our brains. From breathing to walking to chewing, our days are filled with ...

New research shows that rhythmic brain activity is key to temporarily maintaining important information in memory. Researchers found brain rhythms -- or patterns of neuronal activity -- organize the ...

“Changes in circadian rhythms happen with aging, and evidence suggests that circadian rhythm disturbances may be a risk factor for neurodegenerative diseases like dementia,” said Dr. Wang.

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 ...
