Central pattern-generating networks produce the rhythmic motor discharges that underlie many repetitive movements, such as those in locomotion, respiration and feeding 1. Synaptic inhibition is ...

The cardiac ganglion (CG) is a central pattern generator, a neural network that, when activated, produces patterned motor outputs such as breathing and walking. The CG induces the heart contractions ...

In a new study, scientists from the University of Cologne gained new insights into the mechanism of the rhythmic activation of nerve cells (neurons) in stick insects that control the leg muscles ...

Walking is the most natural of movements. Without thinking, we put one foot forward and then the next, on and on, propelling us forward. So, if we're not consciously directing this complex interplay ...
