Abstract
Locomotion is one of the most essential motor behaviors that allows animals to move in and interact with their environment. Although ubiquitous throughout the animal kingdom, it is a complex motor behavior that requires precise coordination of numerous muscles and adaptation of their activities to accommodate to changes in the environment [1]. The underlying neural control of locomotion requires interactions between different levels of the central and peripheral nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, and the environment. Neural networks in the spinal cord generate the rhythm and control the pattern and timing of motorneuron and muscle activation needed for locomotion. These spinal locomotor networks receive signals from the supraspinal centers setting the speed and locomotor task, and integrate sensory afferent feedback signals to adapt to changes in the environment. Recently, by combining molecular genetic approaches, behavioral experiments and computational modeling, substantial progress has been made in decoding the organization and function of the spinal locomotor circuitry and its supraspinal command system. Yet, many mechanisms of how these neural circuitry’s interact with each other and how they integrate sensory feedback signals still remain poorly understood.
