For many decades, the inability of lesioned central neurons to regrow was accepted almost
as a" law of nature", and on the clinical level, spinal cord and brain lesions were seen as …

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 …

The development and properties of locomotor behaviors in zebrafish embryos raised at
28.5° C were examined. When freed from the chorion, embryonic zebrafish showed three …

What does the swimming leech have to do with the running human? The ability to move
actively in space is essential to members of the animal kingdom, and the evolution of the …

Animal locomotion is the result of complex and multi-layered interactions between the
nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. Decoding the underlying …

The isolated spinal cord of the newborn rat contains networks that are able to create a
patterned motor output resembling normal locomotor movements. In this study, we sought to …

Over the past 40 years, much has been learned about the role of serotonin in spinal cord
reflex modulation and locomotor pattern generation. This review presents an historical …

Spontaneous neuronal activity has been detected in many parts of the developing vertebrate
nervous system. Recent studies suggest that this activity depends on properties that are …
