Locomotion results from intricate dynamic interactions between a central program and
feedback mechanisms. The central program relies fundamentally on a genetically …

The study of the behaviour of small networks of neurones frequently requires the
determination of measures of the strength of association between component neurones, an …

Intrinsic spinal networks, known as central pattern generators (CPGs), control the timing and
pattern of the muscle activity underlying locomotion in mammals. This review discusses new …

When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

The third edition of this monograph continues to have the goal of providing an overview of
current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms that are responsible for sensory …

Systematic research on the physiological and anatomical characteristics of spinal cord
interneurons along with their functional output has evolved for more than one century …

The initiation and coordination of activity in limb muscles are the main functions of neural
circuits that control locomotion. Commissural neurons connect locomotor circuits on the two …

At the beginning of the 20th century, Thomas Graham Brown conducted experiments that
after a long hiatus changed views on the neural control of locomotion. His seminal work …
