Many of the general concepts regarding the control of walking were described years ago by:
Sherrington (1906) Integrative Actions of the Nervous System. Yale University Press: New …

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 …

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 …

In a form of top-down analysis, the femur-tibia control system of stick insects is investigated.
Open-loop experiments show that it is mainly velocity-sensitive with an extremely low …

From among the diverse meanings of stability, the one the author adopts here is that the
effects of a perturbation are opposed, and therefore small effects remain small. Except in …

Recent experiments have extended our understanding of how sensory information in
premotor networks controlling motor output is processed during locomotion, and at what …

The response of the foot to touch during walking depends on whether it is in the air or on the
ground. In most animals, reflex responses to external stimuli are similarly adapted to their …

Role of proprioceptive signals from an insect femur-tibia joint in patterning motoneuronal
activity of an adjacent leg joint. Interjoint reflex function of the insect leg contributes to …

ABSTRACT A rampwise stretch of the femoral chordotonal organ is known often to elicit a
response in the active decerebrate stick insect that is termed an 'active reaction', and which …
