Journal ArticleDOI
Locomotor circuits in the mammalian spinal cord
TL;DR: New advances in understanding the mammalian CPGs are discussed with a focus on experiments that address the overall network structure as well as the identification of CPG neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bistability of alpha-motoneurones in the decerebrate cat and in the acute spinal cat after intravenous 5-hydroxytryptophan.
TL;DR: It was found that short‐lasting depolarizing current pulses through the recording microelectrode could trigger a self‐sustained firing in the motoneurone provided that the bias current was kept within certain limits and HyperpolarizingCurrent pulses terminated the firing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decoding the organization of spinal circuits that control locomotion.
TL;DR: The emergent themes from this research are that the locomotor networks have a modular organization with distinct transmitter and molecular codes and that their organization is reconfigured with changes to the speed of locomotion or changes in gait.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distribution of networks generating and coordinating locomotor activity in the neonatal rat spinal cord in vitro: a lesion study
Ole Kjaerulff,Ole Kiehn +1 more
TL;DR: The ability to generate fast and regular rhythmic activity decreased in the caudal direction, but the rhythm-generating network was found to be distributed over the entire lumbar region and to extend into the caUDal thoracic region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proprioceptive input resets central locomotor rhythm in the spinal cat.
TL;DR: Results indicate that extensor group I afferents have access to central rhythm generators and suggest that this may be of importance in the reflex regulation of stepping.
