[HTML][HTML] A validation of supervised deep learning for gait analysis in the cat

CG Lecomte, J Audet, J Harnie… - Frontiers in …, 2021 - frontiersin.org
Gait analysis in cats and other animals is generally performed with custom-made or commercially
developed software to track reflective markers placed on bony landmarks. This often …

[HTML][HTML] A sensory signal related to left-right symmetry modulates intra-and interlimb cutaneous reflexes during locomotion in intact cats

S Mari, CG Lecomte, AN Merlet, J Audet… - Frontiers in systems …, 2023 - frontiersin.org
During locomotion, cutaneous reflexes play an essential role in rapidly responding to an
external perturbation, for example to prevent a fall when the foot contacts an obstacle. In cats …

Neuromechanical strategies for obstacle negotiation during overground locomotion following incomplete spinal cord injury in adult cats

CG Lecomte, S Mari, J Audet, S Yassine… - Journal of …, 2023 - Soc Neuroscience
Following incomplete spinal cord injury in animals, including humans, substantial locomotor
recovery can occur. However, functional aspects of locomotion, such as negotiating …

Spinal sensorimotor circuits play a prominent role in hindlimb locomotor recovery after staggered thoracic lateral hemisections but cannot restore posture and interlimb …

J Audet, S Yassine, CG Lecomte, S Mari, F Soucy… - Eneuro, 2023 - eneuro.org
Spinal sensorimotor circuits interact with supraspinal and peripheral inputs to generate
quadrupedal locomotion. Ascending and descending spinal pathways ensure coordination …

Modulation of the gait pattern during split-belt locomotion after lateral spinal cord hemisection in adult cats

CG Lecomte, S Mari, J Audet… - Journal of …, 2022 - journals.physiology.org
Most previous studies investigated the recovery of locomotion in animals and people with
incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) during relatively simple tasks (eg, walking in a straight line …

Control of forelimb and hindlimb movements and their coordination during quadrupedal locomotion across speeds in adult spinal cats

J Audet, J Harnie, CG Lecomte, S Mari… - Journal of …, 2022 - liebertpub.com
Coordinating the four limbs is critical for terrestrial mammalian locomotion. Thoracic spinal
transection abolishes neural communication between the brain and spinal networks …

[HTML][HTML] State-and condition-dependent modulation of the hindlimb locomotor pattern in intact and spinal cats across speeds

…, S Mari, CG Lecomte, AN Merlet, G Genois… - Frontiers in Systems …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Locomotion after complete spinal cord injury (spinal transection) in animal models is usually
evaluated in a hindlimb-only condition with the forelimbs suspended or placed on a …

Sensory perturbations from hindlimb cutaneous afferents generate coordinated functional responses in all four limbs during locomotion in intact cats

AN Merlet, P Jéhannin, S Mari, CG Lecomte, J Audet… - Eneuro, 2022 - eneuro.org
Coordinating the four limbs is an important feature of terrestrial mammalian locomotion. When
the foot dorsum contacts an obstacle, cutaneous mechanoreceptors send afferent signals …

[HTML][HTML] On the organization of the locomotor CPG: insights from split-belt locomotion and mathematical modeling

EM Latash, CG Lecomte, SM Danner… - Frontiers in …, 2020 - frontiersin.org
Rhythmic limb movements during locomotion are controlled by central pattern generator (CPG)
circuits located in the spinal cord. It is considered that these circuits are composed of …

Simultaneous control of forward and backward locomotion by spinal sensorimotor circuits

J Audet, CG Lecomte, J Harnie… - The Journal of …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Mammals walk in different directions, such as forward and backward. In human infants/adults
and decerebrate cats, one leg can walk forward and the other backward simultaneously on …
