Organization of brain and spinal cord locomotor networks in larval lamprey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
In vertebrates, brain locomotor command systems activate spinal central pattern generators (CPGs) to initiate locomotor behavior. The size and pharmacology of brain command systems are unknown, and the movements that result ...
The effects of axotomy on the biophysical properties of reticulospinal neurons in larval lamprey
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
Following severe spinal cord injury (SCI), in adult higher vertebrates there is little or no axonal regeneration, and animals remain paralyzed below the lesion. In contrast, lower vertebrates such as the lamprey, following ...
