Tapping into rhythm generation circuitry in humans during simulated weightlessness conditions
An ability to produce rhythmic activity is ubiquitous for locomotor pattern generation and modulation. The role that the rhythmogenesis capacity of the spinal cord plays in injured populations has become an area of interest and systematic investigation ...

Central pattern generators for biomorphic robotics
Typically, the structure of the robot fish frame significantly differs compared to the real organism. One significant difference is in the number of body segments. While live fish can have between 16 (moon fish) to 400 belt fish [1] segments, robots usually have only 5–6 segments since substantial precision is unnecessary when simulating movement.

Neurotrophins and Spinal Circuit Function
: Work early in the last century emphasized the stereotyped activity of spinal circuits based on studies of reflexes. However, the last several decades have focused on the plasticity of these spinal circuits.

Modeling Small Oscillating Biological Networks in Analog VLSI [PDF]
We have used analog VLSI technology to model a class of small oscillating biological neural circuits known as central pattern generators (CPG). These circuits generate rhythmic patterns of activity which drive locomotor behaviour in the animal.

Chemoreception and neuroplasticity in respiratory circuits [PDF]
The respiratory central pattern generator must respond to chemosensory cues to maintain oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) homeostasis in the blood and tissues. To do this, sensorial cells located in the periphery and central nervous system monitor the

Multi-objective evolutionary design of central pattern generator network for biomimetic robotic fish
Fish-inspired motion is an important research area with many applications in real-world tasks such as underwater vehicles or robotic fish control design. Owing to robust, smooth, and coordinated oscillatory signals generated by Central Pattern Generators

Stepping Responses to Treadmill Perturbations vary with Severity of Motor Deficits in Human SCI [PDF]
In this study, we investigated the responses to tread perturbations during human stepping on a treadmill. Our approach was to test the effects of perturbations to a single leg using a split-belt treadmill in healthy participants and in participants with ...
