The cortex as a central pattern generator

open access: yesNature Reviews Neuroscience, 2005
Vertebrate spinal cord and brainstem central pattern generator (CPG) circuits share profound similarities with neocortical circuits. CPGs can produce meaningful functional output in the absence of sensory inputs. Neocortical circuits could be considered analogous to CPGs as they have rich spontaneous dynamics that, similar to CPGs, are powerfully ...

The mammalian central pattern generator for locomotion

Brain Research Reviews, 2009
At the beginning of the 20th century, Thomas Graham Brown conducted experiments that after a long hiatus changed views on the neural control of locomotion. His seminal work supported by subsequent evidence generated largely from the 1960s onwards showed that across species walking, flying, and swimming are controlled largely by a neuronal network that ...

Computational Model of a Central Pattern Generator

open access: yes, 2006
The buccal ganglia of Aplysia contain a central pattern generator (CPG) that mediates rhythmic movements of the foregut during feeding. This CPG is a multifunctional circuit and generates at least two types of buccal motor patterns (BMPs), one that mediates ingestion (iBMP) and another that mediates rejection (rBMP).

DRIVING RESPIRATION: THE RESPIRATORY CENTRAL PATTERN GENERATOR

open access: yesClinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1998
SUMMARY1. The central pattern generator (CPG) for respiration is located in the brainstem and produces rhythmic synaptic drive for motoneurons controlling respiratory muscles. Based on respiratory nerve discharge, the respiratory cycle can be divided into three phases: inspiration, postinspiration and stage 2 expiration.2.

Phase oscillator neural network as artificial central pattern generator for robots [PDF]

open access: yesNeurocomputing, 2012
We design an artificial central pattern generator and we exemplify its integration using different prototypic virtual robot models. The artificial central pattern generator is modeled through a network of phase oscillators.

The Central Pattern Generators

Журнал высшей нервной деятельности им. И. В. Павлова, 2013
The central pattern generator (CPG) is defined as a set of neurons involved in joint production of patterned motor output. The roundtable discussion on the CPG was a part of the 5th All-Russian Conference on Animal Behavior (Moscow, Nov. 21, 2012). The discussion centred on three core themes: 1) the mechanisms of the organization and reconfiguration of

Central Pattern Generators

Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology, 2014
A central pattern generator (CPG) is defined as a set of neurons whose members work together to generate organized motor output activity. A round-table discussion on central pattern generators was held on November 21, 2012 as part of the Fifth All-Russian Conference on Animal Behavior in Moscow.

Neural control of locomotion: sensory control of the central pattern generator and its relation to treadmill training

open access: yesGait and Posture, 1998
Many studies have shown that a special treadmill training is effective in restoring locomotor function in cats with a complete spinal lesion. In the last few years it has become possible to regain some locomotor activity in patients suffering from a ...

Central Pattern Generators

2016
The neuronal networks that regulate various laryngeal movements including phonation, deglutition, and cough are mainly located in the brainstem. However, the physiological and anatomical organization of the brainstem neuronal circuitry is still not fully clarified. In this section, we addressed the contribution of the brainstem neuronal networks to the

Combining central pattern generators and reflexes

Neurocomputing, 2015
Locomotion of quadruped robots has not yet achieved the robustness, harmony, efficiency and flexibility of its biological counterparts. Biological evidences showed that there is a two-way interaction between the Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) and the body in the locomotion process of animals.
