Central Pattern Generators

1995
Many organisms exhibit repetitive or oscillatory patterns of muscle activity that produce rhythmic movements such as locomotion, breathing, chewing and scratching. Examples include the escape swimming of the mollusc Tritonia diomedia, the digestive rhythms of the lobster, the undulatory swimming movements of the fish or the lamprey, the stepping ...

A model of the respiratory central pattern generator

The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005
We have developed a model of the mammalian respiratory central pattern generator (rCPG) to mimic the salient characteristics of its constituent medullary neurons. This model was designed as a network of Hodgkin-Huxley type medullary neurons under the hypothesis that synaptic and network effects predominate over ionic influences in determining the ...

Development of central pattern generating circuits

Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2005
The networks that generate rhythmic motor patterns in invertebrates and vertebrates are ideal for studying the mechanisms by which functional circuits are formed during development. Rhythmic motor patterns and movements are seen embryonically, before they are needed for behavior; recent work suggests that activity in immature spinal cord networks is ...

Central pattern generators for bipedal locomotion

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2006
Golubitsky, Stewart, Buono and Collins proposed two models for the achitecture of central pattern generators (CPGs): one for bipeds (which we call leg) and one for quadrupeds (which we call quad). In this paper we use symmetry techniques to classify the possible spatiotemporal symmetries of periodic solutions that can exist in leg (there are 10 ...

Computational Model of a Central Pattern Generator

2006
The buccal ganglia of Aplysia contain a central pattern generator (CPG) that mediates rhythmic movements of the foregut during feeding. This CPG is a multifunctional circuit and generates at least two types of buccal motor patterns (BMPs), one that mediates ingestion (iBMP) and another that mediates rejection (rBMP).

CEPAGE: A toolbox for Central Pattern Generator analysis

2017 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), 2017
This paper is focused on a new object-oriented toolbox, called CEPAGE, devoted to simulation and analysis of Central Pattern Generators (CPGs). A CPG is a little group of neurons producing periodical patterns, which control rhythmic activities of animals.

Walking Pattern Generator Using an Evolutionary Central Pattern Generator

2010
For the generation of locomotion, such as walking, running or swimming, vertebrate and invertebrate animals use the Central PatternGenerator (CPG). In this paper, a walking pattern generator is proposed using an evolutionary optimized CPG. Sensory feedback pathways in CPG are proposed, which uses Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) signals.

The mammalian central pattern generator for locomotion

Brain Research Reviews, 2009
At the beginning of the 20th century, Thomas Graham Brown conducted experiments that after a long hiatus changed views on the neural control of locomotion. His seminal work supported by subsequent evidence generated largely from the 1960s onwards showed that across species walking, flying, and swimming are controlled largely by a neuronal network that ...

DRIVING RESPIRATION: THE RESPIRATORY CENTRAL PATTERN GENERATOR

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1998
SUMMARY1. The central pattern generator (CPG) for respiration is located in the brainstem and produces rhythmic synaptic drive for motoneurons controlling respiratory muscles. Based on respiratory nerve discharge, the respiratory cycle can be divided into three phases: inspiration, postinspiration and stage 2 expiration.2.
