The execution and learning of diverse movements involve neuronal networks distributed
throughout the nervous system. The brainstem and basal ganglia are key for processing …

Locomotion is a universal motor behavior that is expressed as the output of many integrated
brain functions. Locomotion is organized at several levels of the nervous system, with …

The mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) is a brain stem area whose stimulation triggers
graded forward locomotion. How MLR neurons recruit downstream vsx2+(V2a) …

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a complex solution that circulates around the CNS, and
whose composition changes as a function of an animal's physiological state. Ciliated …

The basal ganglia are essential for executing motor actions. How the basal ganglia engage
spinal motor networks has remained elusive. Medullary Chx10 gigantocellular (Gi) neurons …

Walking is a complex motor programme involving coordinated and distributed activity across
the brain and the spinal cord. Halting appropriately at the correct time is a critical component …

The ability to generate and control locomotor movements depends on complex interactions
between many areas of the nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, and the …

Seemingly simple behaviors such as swatting a mosquito or glancing at a signpost involve
the precise coordination of multiple body parts. Neural control of coordinated movements is …

A key function of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR) is to control the speed of
forward symmetrical locomotor movements. However, the ability of freely moving mammals …

Vertebrate movement is orchestrated by spinal inter-and motor neurons that, together with
sensory and cognitive input, produce dynamic motor behaviors. These behaviors vary from …
