Ansgar Büschges Universität zu Köln http://www.uni-koeln.de/math-nat-fak/zoologie/tierphysiologie/bueschges/newpage/de/ "Coordinating the Motor Output for Multi-Segmented Locomotor Systems" Locomotor movements result from the interaction between central pattern generating networks in the nervous system, local feedback from sensory neurons about movements and forces generated in the locomotor organs and coordinating signals from neighboring segments or appendages. The talk addresses how the motor output and movements of multi-segmented locomotor organs are coordinated. I provide an overview of recent advances in understanding sensory control and the internal organization of central pattern generating networks that operate multi-segmented locomotor organs, e.g a walking leg of an animal. Findings from different walking systems support the notion that common schemes of sensory feedback are used for generating walking. |
