  2. 1. Crossing the Midline : Locomotor Neuronal Circuitry Formation

    Author : Fatima Memic; Klas Kullander; Avihu Klar; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CPG; CIN; neuronal network; locomotion; left-right alternation;

    Abstract : Networks at various levels of the nervous system coordinate different motor patterns such as respiration, eye or hand movements and locomotion. Intrinsic rhythm-generating networks that are located in the spinal cord generate motor behaviors that underlie locomotion in vertebrates. READ MORE

  4. 2. EPHA4 and V2 interneurons in the mammalian locomotor network

    Author : Line Lundfald; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    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

  5. 3. Diving into the zebrafish locomotor network : A study on dI6 interneurons

    Author : Ana Belen Iglesias Gonzalez; Henrik Boije; Filippo Del Bene; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; danio rerio; locomotion; dmrt3a; wt1a; calretinin; transcriptome; spinal cord; morphology; dI6 neurons; knock-down out; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Abstract : The generation and coordination of locomotion comprise of inhibitory and excitatory interneurons that govern motor neuron output to muscles. This neuronal network is known as the central pattern generator (CPG). Spinal inhibitory interneurons that originate from the dI6 population play a crucial role in the coordination of locomotor output. READ MORE

  6. 4. Swimming with the current : Fictive locomotion reveals subtle phenotypes in the zebrafish locomotor network

    Author : Harmen Kornelis Koning; Henrik Boije; David McLean; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dmrt3a; wt1a; spinal cord; Mauthner cell; neural development; locomotor network; zebrafish;

    Abstract : Neural networks are the functional building blocks of the central nervous system. To better understand how these networks develop and operate, we turned to the zebrafish locomotor network, with a focus on subtypes of interneurons expressing dmrt3a and wt1a. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mechanisms of rhythm generation in the lamprey locomotor network

    Author : Lorenzo Cangiano; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    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
