The central pattern generators (CPGs) for locomotion, located in the lumbar spinal cord, are
functional at birth in the rat. Their maturation occurs during the last few days preceding birth …

Some of the most simple, stereotyped, reflexive, and spinal‐mediated motor behaviors
expressed by animals display a level of flexibility and plasticity that is not always recognized …

This mini-review focuses on the emergence of locomotor-related movements in early
infancy. In particular, we consider multiples precursor behaviors of locomotion as a …

Despite limited regeneration capacity, partial injuries to the adult mammalian spinal cord
can elicit variable degrees of functional recovery, mediated at least in part by reorganization …

The aim of the current study was to provide normative data on spontaneous locomotion and
posture behavior in develo** rats (Rattus norvegicus), during the first 2 postnatal weeks …

Activation of the serotonin system has been shown to induce locomotor activity following a
spinal cord transection. This study examines how the isolated spinal cord adapts to a …

Fetal rats can alter patterns of interlimb coordination after experience with a yoke that links
two legs together. Yoke training results in a pronounced increase in conjugate limb …

Locomotion is one of the most complex motor behaviors. Locomotor patterns change during
early life, reflecting development of numerous peripheral and hierarchically organized …

The purpose of this study was to determine what dose of quipazine, a serotonergic agonist,
facilitates air-step** and induces postural control and patterns of locomotion in newborn …

The amount of postnatal experience for perinatal rats was manipulated by delivering pups
one day early (postconception day 21; PC21) by cesarean delivery and comparing their …
