Sensory feedback plays a significant role in generating walking gait and in gait transition in salamanders: A simulation study

Here, we use a three-dimensional, neuro-musculo-mechanical model of a salamander with realistic physical parameters in order to investigate the role of sensory feedback in gait generation and transition. Activation of limb and axial muscles were driven by neural output patterns obtained from a centr...
