Contents:
1. Neural control of locomotion in lower vertebrates -- 2. The generation of mastication by the mammalian central nervous system -- 3. Generation of respiratory patterns in mammals -- 4. Comparative analysis of invertebrate central pattern -- 5. Evolution of the vertebrate central pattern generator for locomotion -- 6. Locomotion and scratching in tetrapods -- 7. The role of sensory inputs in regulating patterns of rhythmical movements in higher vertebrates -- 8. Chemical Modulation of Central Pattern Generators -- 9. Toward a Theory of Modelling Central Pattern Generators -- 10. The Roles of Synthetic Models in the Study of Central Pattern Generators --Index.
Summary: This study offers both experimental and theoretical analyses of the neural control of rhythmic movement. The focus is on the structure of the central pattern generators (CPGs), shown to underlie the regulation of rhythmic movements.
