Animals move in all kinds of ways, but one thing all that motion has in common is rhythm.So it's not really that surprising that the simple neural circuits driving these motionsare basically little rhythm machines, with electrical patterns that give rise to coordinatedmotion.Perhaps more surprising is that crazy complex neural circuits that aren’t dedicated tomovement also have rhythm: All over our brains all the time, millions of neurons are syncingup – sometimes for just a fraction of a second – and generating electrical ups anddowns that we can record as brain waves.In healthy brains, these waves are very consistent - for instance, during normal waking activity,your brain produces a pattern called the beta rhythm, and, in deepest sleep, it genera...
