Locomotion results from intricate dynamic interactions between a central program and
feedback mechanisms. The central program relies fundamentally on a genetically …

Movement is accomplished by the controlled activation of motor unit populations. Our
understanding of motor unit physiology has been derived from experimental work on the …

Social dilemmas occur when the pursuit of self-interest by individuals in a group leads to
less than optimal collective outcomes for everyone in the group. A critical assumption in the …

This paper relates to the problem of the existence of muscle synergies, that is whether the
CNS command to muscles is simplified by controlling their activity in subgroups or …

Phase-dependent reflex modulation was studied by recording the electromyographic (EMG)
responses in ankle flexors (Tibialis Anterior, TA) and extensors (Gastrocnemius Medialis …

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether tactile cutaneous reflexes from
the skin of the foot contain location-specific information during human walking. Muscular …

A principle of organization of spinal circuitry which emerges from the studies reviewed here
is that the structure of the distributed network of pathways in the spinal cord contains a …

The goal of this study was to evaluate the role of hindpaw cutaneous feedback in the control
of locomotion, by cutting some (in one cat) or all (in 2 cats) cutaneous nerves bilaterally at …
