  2. 1. Modeling of bursting mechanisms and coordination in a spinal central pattern generator

    Author : Jeanette Hellgren Kotaleski; KTH; []
    Keywords : adaptation; central pattern generator; computer simulation; inter segmental coordination; lamprey; locomotion; neural network; rhythmogenesis; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : Mechanisms underlying lotal bursting as well as coordinationbetween different levels of a spinal CPG generating locomotionhave been investigated using computer simulations. A"primitive" jawless vertebrate, the lamprey, is used a.s aprototype model. READ MORE

  4. 2. 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
