Design of mechanosensory feedback during undulatory locomotion to enhance speed and stability
C Wyart, M Carbo-Tano - Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2023 - Elsevier
Undulatory locomotion relies on the propagation of a wave of excitation in the spinal cord
leading to consequential activation of segmental skeletal muscles along the body. Although …

The role of mechanical resonance in the neural control of swimming in fishes
The bodies of many fishes are flexible, elastic structures; if you bend them, they spring back.
Therefore, they should have a resonant frequency: a bending frequency at which the output …

The role of curvature feedback in the energetics and dynamics of lamprey swimming: A closed-loop model
Like other animals, lampreys have a central pattern generator (CPG) circuit that activates
muscles for locomotion and also adjusts the activity to respond to sensory inputs from the …

Flexibility of the axial central pattern generator network for locomotion in the salamander
In tetrapods, limb and axial movements are coordinated during locomotion. It is well
established that inter-and intralimb coordination show considerable variations during …

Regulation of the swimming kinematics of lampreys Petromyzon marinus across changes in viscosity
The bodies of most swimming fishes are very flexible and deform as result of both external
fluid dynamic forces and internal musculoskeletal forces. If fluid forces change, the body …
