Modular circuit organization for speed control of locomotor movements
Abdeljabbar El Manira
Abstract
Our movements and actions stem from complex processes in the central nervous system. Precise adaptation of locomotor movements is essential for effectively interacting with the environment. To understand the mechanisms underlying these movements, it is crucial to determine the organization of spinal circuits at the level of individual neurons and synapses. This review highlights the insights gained from studying spinal circuits in adult zebrafish and discusses their broader implications for our understanding of locomotor control across species.
