Robotics and neuroscience are sister disciplines that both aim to understand how agile,
efficient, and robust locomotion can be achieved in autonomous agents. Robotics has …

Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) can face decades with permanent disabilities.
Advances in clinical management have decreased morbidity and improved outcomes, but …

The vertebrate control of locomotion involves all levels of the nervous system from cortex to
the spinal cord. Here, we aim to cover all main aspects of this complex behavior, from the …

Here we argue functional neuroanatomy for posture-gait control. Multi-sensory information
such as somatosensory, visual and vestibular sensation act on various areas of the brain so …

Epidural electrical stimulation (EES) of the spinal cord restores locomotion in animal models
of spinal cord injury but is less effective in humans. Here we hypothesized that this …

Unravelling the functional operation of neuronal networks and linking cellular activity to
specific behavioural outcomes are among the biggest challenges in neuroscience. In this …

The nature of the transition from acute to chronic pain still eludes explanation, but chronic
pain resulting from surgery provides a natural experiment that invites clinical …

Stroke affects one out of every six people on Earth. Approximately 90% of stroke survivors
have some functional disability with mobility being a major impairment, which not only …

Locomotion is a universal behaviour that provides animals with the ability to move between
places. Classical experiments have used electrical microstimulation to identify brain regions …

Locomotion is a purposeful, goal‐directed behavior initiated by signals arising from either
volitional processing in the cerebral cortex or emotional processing in the limbic system …
