Neural Control of Limb Coordination. I. Comparison of Hatching and Walking Motor Output Patterns in Normal and Deafferented Chicks
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of removing sensory feedback from the legs on the production of the distinctive leg motor patterns was examined, showing that the walking pattern becomes more like hatching after deafferentation, rather than the reverse.

The development of interlimb co-ordination during swimming in postnatal rats
Anne Bekoff,William Trainer +1 more
TL;DR: In young rats it was possible to see 1 limb, or almost any combination of 2, 3 or 4 limbs, moving during swimming, and usually with proper phase relationships, which suggests that each limb has its own separate neural pattern generator and that there are effective interlimb co-ordinating mechanisms controlling moving limbs during swim, even at very early stages.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogeny of bioelectric activity in the spinal cord of the chick embryo and its behavioral implications
TL;DR: Spontaneous spinal cord electrical activity was observed in the lumbosacral region of curarized chick embryos between 5 and 20 days of incubation, and bursts were proposed as a neural correlate of spontaneous, embryonic motility.

Anatomical and Physiological Basis of Embryonic Motility in Birds and Mammals
TL;DR: This chapter discusses embryonic motility in birds and mammals, and focuses on lack of coordination in amniote embryos and spontaneous Motility in rat fetuses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Embryonic behavior, hatching and neuromuscular development in the chick following a transient reduction of spontaneous motility and sensory input by neuromuscular blocking agents.
TL;DR: Embryos were immobilized with neuromuscular blocking agents for one to four days between days 10 and 15 of incubation, which reduces spontaneous motility, as well as movement‐initiated proprioceptive and cutaneous stimulation.

Journal ArticleDOI
Prehatching motility and hatching behavior in the chick.
TL;DR: It is found that similar coordinated movements including a rotatory component are instrumental in several other action patterns which are preparatory to hatching, which appear to originate de novo around day 17.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ontogeny of embryonic behavior in Aves. I. The chronology and general nature of the behavior of the chick embryo
Journal ArticleDOI
Prenatal behavior of birds.
TL;DR: Analysis of behavioral, neurological, and biochemical research indicates that the sensory systems of the avian embryo become functional in the following order: non-visual photic sensitivity; tactile sensitivity; vestibular sensitivity; proprioception; audition; vision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the deafferentation of the trigeminal area on the motility of the chick embryo.
Viktor Hamburger,C. H. Narayanan +1 more
TL;DR: The failure to perform the integrated prehatching and hatching behavior may be due to either one of the following causes: (1)Absence of specific sensory information; (2) Absence of non-specific excitatory stimulation reducing muscle tonus; (3) Transneuronal degeneration in trigeminal medullary or in higher centers; (4) Damage in the midbrain and/or cerebellum.
