Nitric oxide potentiation of locomotor activity in the spinal cord of the lamprey.

19 Oct 2009 To understand the intrinsic operation of spinal networks generating locomotion, we need to not only characterize the constituent neurons and their connectivity, but also determine the role of intrinsic modulation in shaping the final motor output. ... Read more...

Functional recovery after lesion of a central pattern generator.

19 Oct 2009 In cases of neuronal injury when regeneration is restricted, functional recovery can occur through reorganization of the remaining neural circuitry. We found an example of such recovery in the central pattern generator (CPG) for the escape swim of ... Read more...

Robust multiperson tracking from a mobile platform.

29 Sep 2009 In this paper, we address the problem of multiperson tracking in busy pedestrian zones using a stereo rig mounted on a mobile platform. The complexity of the problem calls for an integrated solution that extracts as much visual information as ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Locomotion'

Definition: Movement or the ability to move from one place or another. It can refer to humans, vertebrate or invertebrate animals, and microorganisms.

Descriptor UI: D008124

Alternative terms: Locomotion; Locomotions;

Related Mesh Headings: Gait;

Allowable Qualifiers: drug effects; genetics; immunology; physiology; radiation effects;

Tree Number: G07.700.560.500; G11.427.590.530.568;

Technical Notes: differentiate LOCOMOTION (getting from one point to another) from GAIT (how a man or major animal gets there), MOVEMENT (without necessarily locomoting), MOTOR ACTIVITY (movement assoc with behavior), WALKING (purposeful locomotion to get somewhere or for recreation, fitness or competition); CELL LOCOMOTION see CELL MOVEMENT is available
