When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

The integration of sensory information is required to maintain body posture and to generate
robust yet flexible locomotion through unpredictable environments. To anticipate required …

Precocious movements are widely seen in embryos of various animal species. Whether
such movements via proprioceptive feedback play instructive roles in motor development or …

This paper provides an update on the neural control of bipedal walking in relation to
bioinspired models and robots. It is argued that most current models or robots are based on …

In legged animals, integration of information from various proprioceptors in and on the
appendages by local premotor networks in the central nervous system is crucial for …

Neuromodulatory neurons located in the brain can influence activity in locomotor networks
residing in the spinal cord or ventral nerve cords of invertebrates. How inputs to and outputs …

Cutaneous feedback from feet is involved in regulation of muscle activity during locomotion,
and the lack of this feedback results in motor deficits. We tested the hypothesis that …

We present a wireless multimodal neural interface device to record neural activities of
neurons in dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and muscle electrical activities (EMG) of the selected …

We developed a prototype of a neural, powered, transtibial prosthesis for the use in a feline
model of prosthetic gait. The prosthesis was designed for attachment to a percutaneous …

Motor control is an important component of animal movement that relies on the nervous
system to conduct coordinated locomotion. Marine trace fossils, recording a myriad of …
