Glutamatergic mechanisms for speed control and network operation in the rodent locomotor CPG
Locomotion is a fundamental motor act that, to a large degree, is controlled by central pattern generating (CPG) networks in the spinal cord. Glutamate is thought to be responsible for most of the excitatory input to and the excitatory activity within the locomotor CPG. However, previous studies in...
