Incremental embodied chaotic exploration of self-organized motor behaviors with proprioceptor adaptation [PDF]

, 2015
This paper presents a general and fully dynamic embodied artificial neural system, which incrementally explores and learns motor behaviors through an integrated combination of chaotic search and reflex learning.

Decoding locomotion from population neural activity in moving C. elegans

eLife, 2021
We investigated the neural representation of locomotion in the nematode C. elegans by recording population calcium activity during movement. We report that population activity more accurately decodes locomotion than any single neuron.

WDR79/TCAB1 plays a conserved role in the control of locomotion and ameliorates phenotypic defects in SMA models [PDF]

, 2017
SMN (Survival Motor Neuron) deficiency is the predominant cause of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a severe neurodegenerative disorder that can lead to progressive paralysis and death.

Utilizing Noseband Sensor Technology to Evaluate Rumination Time as a Predictor of Feeding and Locomotion Behaviors in Dairy Cows

Agriculture
The objective of the study was to examine the relationship between rumination time and various parameters related to eating and locomotion, including other chews, eating chews, eating time, drinking gulps, bolus counts, chews per minute, activity, and ...

Leptin Receptor Expressing Neurons in the Substantia Nigra Regulate Locomotion, and in The Ventral Tegmental Area Motivation and Feeding

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Leptin is an anorexigenic hormone, important in the regulation of body weight. Leptin plays a role in food reward, feeding, locomotion and anxiety. Leptin receptors (LepR) are expressed in many brain areas, including the midbrain.

Adaptive locomotion of artificial microswimmers

, 2019
Bacteria can exploit mechanics to display remarkable plasticity in response to locally changing physical and chemical conditions. Compliant structures play a striking role in their taxis behavior, specifically for navigation inside complex and structured

Hunting by the Stroke: How Foraging Drives Diving Behavior and Locomotion of East-Greenland Narwhals (Monodon monoceros)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Deep diving air-breathing species by necessity must balance submergence time and level of exercise during breath-holding: a low activity level preserves oxygen stores and allows longer duration submergence whereas high activity levels consume oxygen ...

Dedicated hippocampal inhibitory networks for locomotion and immobility [PDF]

, 2017
Network activity is strongly tied to animal movement; however, hippocampal circuits selectively engaged during locomotion or immobility remain poorly characterized.

A GABAergic Maf-expressing interneuron subset regulates the speed of locomotion in Drosophila

Nature Communications, 2019
Spinal interneurons (IN) coordinate motoneuron activity to modulate locomotion behavior. Here, the authors characterize a subset of IN subtypes expressing the Maf transcription factor Traffic Jam (TJ) and report the distinct effects of their activation ...

Ecological correlates to cranial morphology in Leporids (Mammalia, Lagomorpha) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
The mammalian order Lagomorpha has been the subject of many morphometric studies aimed at understanding the relationship between form and function as it relates to locomotion, primarily in postcranial morphology.
