This confirmed that the bursting behavior of magnocellular neurons is governed by central pattern generator networks whose rhythmic drive, and thus probably integrity, is however less satisfactorily preserved in the acute slices from adult brains.

Fraden noted that «the engineering principles they identified are general and can be applied to design a whole range of other Central Pattern Generators, such as those responsible for other autonomous functions, such as the gait of a horse, for example, walk, canter, trot and gallop.»

Pfaff's group used the new method to answer a long - standing question about how a collection of cells in the spinal cord, called the locomotor central pattern generator (CPG), connects to the right motor neurons to allow movements like walking.

We have recently proposed, from experiments in organotypic cultures, that specific central pattern generator networks, upstream of magnocellular neurons, determine their bursting activity.

He is studing central pattern generator circuits the underlie swimming behaviors in nudibranch molluscs.

In 1987, they discovered that the repetitive motions of swimming are choreographed by a group of neurons in the lamprey's spinal cord called the central pattern generator (CPG).

Their resulting robust chemical networks produced distributed dynamic patterns identical to the eel's Central Pattern Generator.

Looking deeper, Fraden studied how a type of neural network present in the eel, named the Central Pattern Generator, produces waves of chemical pulses that propagate down the eel's spine to rhythmically drive swimming muscles.

By combining cell physiology with pharmacology, behavioral analysis, and computer modeling, he has deciphered the existence of a central pattern generator for locomotion in the spinal cord, thereby linking circuit function to behavior.

Braulio Peguero - «The effects of the novel peptide Val ¹ - SIFamide on the central pattern generators in the stomatogastric ganglion of the American lobster, Homarus americanus» (Advisor: P. Dickinson)

In this study, significant improvement was shown in supported stepping scores and open field scores, which could be mediated by increased activity in the central pattern generators, descending motor control or a combination of both.

A central pattern generator produces a master signal, which is interpreted by analog arrays and sent to the oscillators that move the legs.
