Setting the pace: new insights into central pattern generator interactions in box jellyfish swimming [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) produce rhythmic behaviour across all animal phyla. Cnidarians, which have a radially symmetric nervous system and pacemaker centres in multiples of four, provide an interesting comparison to bilaterian animals for ...

A circuit mechanism for the propagation of waves of muscle contraction in Drosophila

open access: yeseLife, 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

Combined Reinforcement Learning and CPG Algorithm to Generate Terrain-Adaptive Gait of Hexapod Robots

open access: yesActuators, 2023
Terrain adaptation research can significantly improve the motion performance of hexapod robots. In this paper, we propose a method that combines reinforcement learning with a central pattern generator (CPG) to enhance the terrain adaptation of hexapod ...

Integrative neuromechanics of crawling in D. melanogaster larvae

open access: yeseLife, 2016
Locomotion in an organism is a consequence of the coupled interaction between brain, body and environment. Motivated by qualitative observations and quantitative perturbations of crawling in Drosophila melanogaster larvae, we construct a minimal ...

Distinct mechanisms underlie electrical coupling resonance and its interaction with membrane potential resonance

open access: yesFrontiers in Systems Biology, 2023
Neurons in oscillatory networks often exhibit membrane potential resonance, a peak impedance at a non-zero input frequency. In electrically coupled oscillatory networks, the coupling coefficient (the ratio of post- and prejunctional voltage responses ...

Dbx1 precursor cells are a source of inspiratory XII premotoneurons

open access: yeseLife, 2015
All behaviors require coordinated activation of motoneurons from central command and premotor networks. The genetic identities of premotoneurons providing behaviorally relevant excitation to any pool of respiratory motoneurons remain unknown.

Two conserved vocal central pattern generators broadly tuned for fast and slow rates generate species-specific vocalizations in Xenopus clawed frogs

open access: yeseLife, 2023
Across phyla, males often produce species-specific vocalizations to attract females. Although understanding the neural mechanisms underlying behavior has been challenging in vertebrates, we previously identified two anatomically distinct central pattern ...

Effects on the Motor Cortex in Gamma Rhythm in Terms of Central Pattern Generator

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The locomotion is one of the basic skills essential for animals' survival. It is a key research field where the locomotion is modulated by the motor cortex.

European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline and EXPeRT Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Management of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasms in Children and Adolescents

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms (GEP‐NENs) are extremely rare and clinically heterogeneous. Management has largely been extrapolated from adult practice. This European Standard Clinical Practice Guideline (ESCP), developed by the EXPeRT network in collaboration with adult NEN experts, provides (adult) evidence ...

Neurobiological mechanism of music improving gait disorder in patients with Parkinson’s disease: a mini review

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology
Walking ability is essential for human survival and health. Its basic rhythm is mainly generated by the central pattern generator of the spinal cord. The rhythmic stimulation of music to the auditory center affects the cerebral cortex and other higher ...
