Long ascending propriospinal neurons provide flexible, context-specific control of interlimb coordination

Long ascending propriospinal neurons provide flexible, context-specific control of interlimb coordination

Within the cervical and lumbar spinal enlargements, central pattern generator (CPG) circuitry produces the rhythmic output necessary for limb coordination during locomotion. Long propriospinal neurons that inter-connect these CPGs are thought to secure hindlimb-forelimb coordination, ensuring that d...
