Synergy temporal sequences and topography in the spinal cord: evidence for a traveling wave in frog locomotion

Locomotion is produced by a central pattern generator. Its spinal cord organization is generally considered to be distributed, with more rhythmogenic rostral lumbar segments. While this produces a rostrocaudally traveling wave in undulating species, this is not thought to occur in limbed vertebrates...
