Individual performance in rhythm perception and production is maximized within a range of domain-specific rates and is adversely affected by temporal context, and this effect is amplified with age.

A microfluidic experimental approach combined with dynamical systems theory reveals how to entrain an embryonic oscillator, the segmentation clock, and allows for the quantification of its entrainment properties.
Two acid-sensing members of the degenerin/epithelial sodium channel family play distinct roles in controlling different aspects of rhythmic proton and calcium oscillations in the nematode intestine.

Behavioral, optogenetic, and computational modeling analyses show that the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans uses a relaxation oscillation mechanism to generate rhythmic locomotor patterns.
Time-lapse recording and theoretical analysis of individual cells isolated from the zebrafish segmentation clock reveal that they behave as self-sustained, autonomous oscillators with distinctive noisy dynamics.
