These circuits convert signals from the brain into coordinated locomotor movements, with a speed that is aligned to the initial intention. "The insights gained in our study can be directly ...

But the extra brain work tripped up the non-sleepwalkers: they lurched through the movement task ... sleepwalkers may be better wired to automate locomotor control and awareness, freeing the ...

Their computational study "Modeling spinal locomotor circuits for movements in developing zebrafish" was recently published in the journal eLife. To learn more, we talked to senior author Tuan Bui ...

While the precise coordination of locomotor movements is controlled by neuronal circuits in the spinal cord, the episodic control of locomotion is attributed to descending signals from the ...
