Pattern generating role for motoneurons in a rythmically active neuronal network [PDF]
, 1998 The role of motoneurons in central motor pattern generation was investigated in the feeding system of the pond snail Lymnaea stagnalis, an important invertebrate model of behavioral rhythm generation.

Invertebrate central pattern generator circuits [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 There are now a reasonable number of invertebrate central pattern generator (CPG) circuits described in sufficient detail that a mechanistic explanation of how they work is possible. These small circuits represent the best-understood neural circuits with which to investigate how cell-to-cell synaptic connections and individual channel conductances ...

Mapping Connectivity Amongst Interneuronal Components of the Locomotor CPG
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019 The basic rhythmic activity characteristic of locomotion in mammals is generated by a neural network, located in the spinal cord, known as the locomotor central pattern generator (CPG).

Central pattern generating networks in insect locomotion [PDF]
Developmental Neurobiology, 2020 AbstractCentral pattern generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that based on their connectivity can generate rhythmic and patterned output in the absence of rhythmic external inputs. This property makes CPGs crucial elements in the generation of many kinds of rhythmic motor behaviors in insects, such as flying, walking, swimming, or crawling.

A circuit mechanism for the propagation of waves of muscle contraction in Drosophila
eLife, 2016 Animals move by adaptively coordinating the sequential activation of muscles. The circuit mechanisms underlying coordinated locomotion are poorly understood. Here, we report on a novel circuit for the propagation of waves of muscle contraction, using the
