Primitive roles for inhibitory interneurons in developing frog spinal cord [PDF]
, 2004 Understanding the neuronal networks in the mammal spinal cord is hampered by the diversity of neurons and their connections. The simpler networks in developing lower vertebrates may offer insights into basic organization.

Altered Gravity Highlights Central Pattern Generator Mechanisms
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2008 In many nonprimate species, rhythmic patterns of activity such as locomotion or respiration are generated by neural networks at the spinal level. These neural networks are called central pattern generators (CPGs). Under normal gravitational conditions, the energy efficiency and the robustness of human rhythmic movements are due to the ability of CPGs ...

Neural Correlates of Swimming Behavior in Melibe leonina [PDF]
, 2002 The nudibranch Melibe leonina swims by rhythmically bending from side to side at a frequency of 1 cycle every 2–4 s. The objective of this study was to locate putative swim motoneurons (pSMNs) that drive these lateral flexions and determine if swimming ...

Silicon central pattern generators for cardiac diseases [PDF]
The Journal of Physiology, 2015 AbstractCardiac rhythm management devices provide therapies for both arrhythmias and resynchronisation but not heart failure, which affects millions of patients worldwide. This paper reviews recent advances in biophysics and mathematical engineering that provide a novel technological platform for addressing heart disease and enabling beat‐to‐beat ...

Nitric oxide-mediated intersegmental modulation of cycle frequency in the crayfish swimmeret system
Biology Open, 2018 Crayfish swimmerets are paired appendages located on the ventral side of each abdominal segment that show rhythmic beating during forward swimming produced by central pattern generators in most abdominal segments.

Rhythm motion control in bio‐inspired fishtail based on central pattern generator
IET Cyber-systems and Robotics, 2021 The elastic oscillation structure based on central pattern generators (CPGs), which can produce rhythmic motions, is discussed. First, Hopf CPG, the typical CPG model, being a signal generator for the elastic oscillation structure, is analysed via the ...
