Mechanosensory neurons control the timing of spinal microcircuit selection during locomotion

Mechanosensory neurons control the timing of spinal microcircuit selection during locomotion

Despite numerous physiological studies about reflexes in the spinal cord, the contribution of mechanosensory feedback to active locomotion and the nature of underlying spinal circuits remains elusive. Here we investigate how mechanosensory feedback shapes active locomotion in a genetic model organis...
