How is load sensed by receptors, and how is this sensory information used to guide
locomotion? Many insights in this domain have evolved from comparative studies since it …

Recent investigations of proprioreceptors in the walking systems of cats, insects and
crustaceans have identified reflex pathways that regulate the timing of the transition from …

What does the swimming leech have to do with the running human? The ability to move
actively in space is essential to members of the animal kingdom, and the evolution of the …

1. Rhythmic locomotor activity was evoked in clonidine-treated acute and chronic spinal
cats, and the effect of stimulating group I afferents from the plantaris muscle on the timing …

The study of the neuronal basis of walking has attracted many investigators. This derives in
part from the fact that the results of studies on the generation of walking move-Ž. ments are …

Abstract 'Forward models' are increasingly recognized as a crucial explanatory concept in
vertebrate motor control. The essential idea is that an important function implemented by …

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

Lobsters are generalist decapods that evolved in a broad variety of niches in the
Northwestern Atlantic. Due to their inherent buoyancy they have acquired adaptations to …

Interjoint coordination in multi-jointed limbs is essential for the generation of functional
locomotor patterns. Here we have focused on the role that sensory signals from the coxa …

Primary afferent depolarizations (PADs) are associated with presynaptic inhibition in both
vertebrates and invertebrates. In the present study, we have used both anatomical and …
