Swimming for the lamprey (an eel-like fish) is governed by activity in its spinal neural network, called a central pattern generator (CPG). Simpler, alternative controllers can be...
Abstract. `Super-lamprey' swimmers which operate over a greater control range are evolved. Propulsion in the lamprey, an eel-like fish, is governed by activity in its spinal n...
In lamprey, the supraspinal control of velocity is mainly accomplished by the reticulospinal (RS) system. During locomotion, RS neurones are rhythmically active with a cycle durat...
We show that an ongoing locomotor pattern can that the physiology of the lamprey's spinal system generalizes to be modulated by application of discrete electrical stimuli to l...
