Frontiers in NeurologyWalking 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 ...

The Design and Building of a Hexapod Robot with Biomimetic Legs
Applied Sciences, 2019 A hexapod robot with biomimetic legs was built to implement a distributed control system, where a mechanism is proposed to serve as the central pattern generator and a computer to act as the brain-stem, cooperating with the central pattern generator ...

Rethinking central pattern generators: A general approach [PDF]
Neurocomputing, 2000 Abstract Central pattern generators (CPGs) have traditionally been modeled as sets of coupled bistable oscillators (Marder and Calabrese, Physiol. Rev. 76(3) (1996) 687–717). We present a framework for constructing models which avoid the shortcomings of these traditional models, while remaining biologically plausible.

Journal of Integrative NeuroscienceBackground: The states of the central nervous system (CNS) can be classified into subcritical, critical, and supercritical states that endow the system with information capacity, transmission capabilities, and dynamic range.

Storing cycles in Hopfield-type networks with pseudoinverse learning rule: admissibility and network topology [PDF]
, 2013 Cyclic patterns of neuronal activity are ubiquitous in animal nervous systems, and partially responsible for generating and controlling rhythmic movements such as locomotion, respiration, swallowing and so on.

Central Pattern Generators Deciphered by Molecular Genetics [PDF]
Neuron, 2004 Central pattern generators (CPGs) are localized neuronal networks that have the ability to produce rhythmic movements even in the absence of movement-related sensory feedback. They are found in all animals, including man, and serve as informative model systems for understanding how neuronal networks produce behavior.

CPG-Actor: Reinforcement Learning for Central Pattern Generators [PDF]
, 2021 Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) have several properties desirable for locomotion: they generate smooth trajectories, are robust to perturbations and are simple to implement. Although conceptually promising, we argue that the full potential of CPGs has so far been limited by insufficient sensory-feedback information.

The locust frontal ganglion: a central pattern generator network controlling foregut rhythmic motor patterns [PDF]
, 2002 The frontal ganglion (FG) is part of the insect stomatogastric nervous system and is found in most insect orders. Previous work has shown that in the desert locust, Schistocerca gregaria, the FG constitutes a major source of innervation to the ...

Towards a neural hierarchy of time scales for motor control [PDF]
, 2012 Animals show remarkable rich motion skills which are still far from realizable with robots. Inspired by the neural circuits which generate rhythmic motion patterns in the spinal cord of all vertebrates, one main research direction points towards the use ...

Swimming Rhythm Generation in The Caudal Hindbrain of The Lamprey [PDF]
, 2018 The spinal cord has been well established as the site of generation of the locomotor rhythm in vertebrates, but studies have suggested that the caudal hindbrain in larval fish and amphibians can also generate locomotor rhythms.
