Unleashing the Power of Spinal Networks: Exploring the Impact of Channel Modulation on Locomotion and Muscle Force

Imagine a dance performance where every dancer moves in perfect harmony, creating a captivating spectacle. Similar to this synchrony, vertebrates rely on spinal networks called central pattern generators (CPGs) to produce the coordinated movement of locomotion. A recent computational study delved into the intricate mechanisms behind locomotion and force generation by investigating the modulation of […]
