Many of the general concepts regarding the control of walking were described years ago by:
Sherrington (1906)Integrative Actions of the Nervous System. Yale University Press: New …

The purpose of this study was to determine the test-retest reliability of 4 single-leg horizontal
hop tests (ie, single hop for distance, triple hop for distance, crossover hop for distance, and …

1. In this investigation, we tested the hypothesis that muscle spindle afferents signaling the
length of hind-leg flexor muscles are involved in terminating extensor activity and initiating …

Ependymal cells are multi-ciliated cells that form the brain's ventricular epithelium and a
niche for neural stem cells (NSCs) in the ventricular-subventricular zone (V-SVZ). In addition, …

The spinal cord contains networks of neurons that can produce locomotor patterns. To readily
respond to environmental conditions, these networks must be flexible yet at the same time …

Spinal cholinergic neurons are critical for motor function in both the autonomic and somatic
nervous systems and are affected in spinal cord injury and in diseases such as amyotrophic …

It is well recognized that dopamine (DA) can modulate spinal networks and reflexes. DA
fibers and receptors are present in the spinal cord, and evidence for DA release within the …

The hypothalamic A11 region has been identified in several species including rats, mice,
cats, monkeys, zebrafish, and humans as the primary source of descending dopamine (DA) to …

Exposure to a stressor sensitizes behavioral and hormonal responses to future stressors.
Stress-associated release of noradrenaline enhances the capacity of central synapses to show …

Recently, it has been shown that bath-applied 5-HT can elicit fictive locomotion from perinatal
mouse preparations. Since 5-HT acts on multiple receptor subtypes, the focus of this study …
