Here we argue functional neuroanatomy for posture-gait control. Multi-sensory information
such as somatosensory, visual and vestibular sensation act on various areas of the brain so …

Locomotion is a purposeful, goal‐directed behavior initiated by signals arising from either
volitional processing in the cerebral cortex or emotional processing in the limbic system …

The review demonstrates that control of posture and locomotion is provided by systems
across the caudal-to-rostral extent of the neuraxis. A common feature of the neuroanatomic …

In this review, we have tried to elucidate substrates for the execution of normal gait and to
understand pathophysiological mechanisms of gait failure in basal ganglia dysfunctions. In …

People with Parkinson's disease exhibit debilitating gait impairments, including gait
slowness, increased step variability, and poor postural control. A widespread supraspinal …

Gait is one of the keys to functional independence. For a long-time, walking was considered
an automatic process involving minimal higher-level cognitive input. Indeed, walking does …

The body posture during standing and walking is maintained due to the activity of a closed-
loop control system. In the review, we consider different aspects of postural control: its …

Objective Gait impairment in persons with Parkinson disease is common and debilitating.
Compensation strategies (eg, external cues) are an essential part of rehabilitation, but their …

The regulatory mechanism of bipedal standing in humans remains to be elucidated. We
investigated neural substrates for maintaining standing postures in humans using PET with …

While a detailed understanding of brain activity with hand movements has developed, less is
known about the functional anatomy of motor control for foot movements. Here we have …
