Spinal Cord Locomotion
The spinal cord plays a crucial role in locomotion, primarily through motor neurons and the concept of central pattern generators. These self-organizing neural circuits generate rhythmic outputs essential for movement, even without rhythmic input. By understanding the architecture of these circuits, which includes excitatory and inhibitory neurons, we gain insight into how our bodies coordinate complex movements like walking.In this clip
