The role of curvature feedback in the energetics and dynamics of lamprey swimming: A closed-loop model.

Like other animals, lampreys have a central pattern generator (CPG) circuit that activates muscles for locomotion and also adjusts the activity to respond to sensory inputs from the environment. Such a feedback system is crucial for responding appropriately to unexpected perturbations, but it is als...
