11. Mechanisms of rhythm generation in the lamprey locomotor network
Abstract : Animals propel themselves through space, swimming, walking or flying, by rhythmic oscillatory movements of their body and limbs. In vertebrates these movements are mainly generated by specialized neuronal circuits in the spinal cord, called central pattern generators (CPGs) for locomotion. READ MORE

12. Interneuron diversity and function in the zebrafish locomotor circuits
Abstract : One of the most essential features of an animal’s behavior is the ability to navigate and interact with its environment. The generation of the locomotor rhythm is carried out by networks of neurons in the spinal cord, so called central pattern generators (CPGs). READ MORE

13. EPHA4 and V2 interneurons in the mammalian locomotor network
Abstract : Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neural networks that can execute halfautomated movements without supraspinal or sensory input. Hindlimb locomotion in mammals is dependent upon such a CPG which is located ventrally in the spinal cord lumbar enlargement. READ MORE

14. Modulation of cellular mechanisms in a spinal locomotor network
Abstract : Neuronal networks generate behaviour. Thus, to understand behaviour requires information on how neuronal networks work in terms of their cellular components. The overall aim of this work has been to link processes occurring at an ionic level to the operation of a neural network specialized for undulatory locomotion. READ MORE

15. Analysis of different forms of locomotor behavior in lamprey
Abstract : The ability to locomote, that is move actively in space, is characteristic of the animal kingdom. Many species are capable of different forms of locomotion. They include forward and backward locomotion, fast and slow progression, etc. READ MORE
