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 ...

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

Elevated dementia risks among older adults were associated with weaker and more fragmented circadian rest-activity rhythms ...

A new study has found a strong link between circadian rhythm and dementia risk. Published in the medical journal Neurology, researchers found that participants who were more active during a specific ...

In the 17 th century, the Dutch scientist Christiaan Huygens hanged two of his recently invented pendulum clocks on a wooden beam and observed that as time passed, the clocks aligned their beats. He ...

Rhythmic electrical activity in the retina (known as pathological oscillations) has been observed in several eye diseases, including congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) and retinitis ...

It has long been known that oscillatory neural activity is a key factor for attentional selection in the mammalian brain. Scientists have now investigated how this works. They found that coupling ...

New research shows that rhythmic brain activity is key to temporarily maintaining important information in memory. Researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience at the University of ...
