Network modularity: back to the future in motor control
Abstract
Optogenetic analysis has revealed the existence of multiple rhythm-generating neural networks that drive leg motoneuron pools in the lumbar spinal cord of rodents. These findings extend the concept of a modular neural network organization for locomotion from invertebrates and lower vertebrates to mammals.
