Organization of mammalian locomotor rhythm and pattern generation. (2008, background): “…general consensus that descending control andproprioceptive regulation ofmany motor behaviors involve activation of groups of muscles (synergies) performing elementary movements rather than activation of individual muscles (Bernstein, 1967; Lundberg et al., 1987; McCrea, 1992; Bizzi et al., 2000).”
Central pattern generators for locomotion control in animals and robots: A review (2008, background): “Experiments on decerebrated and spinalized animals indicate that, like CPGs, many of these motor primitives are implemented at a low level in the vertebrate central nervous system, namely in the brainstem and the spinal cord (Whelan, 1996; Stein & Smith, 1997; Bizzi et al., 2000; Tresch et al., 2002”
Plasticity of motor systems after incomplete spinal cord injury (2001, background): “Plasticity of spinal 'central pattern generators' Although the spinal cord circuitry has long been thought of in terms of its inflexibility, responding in a stereotyped manner to inputs from the periphery or from supraspinal centres, the demonstration of spinal ' CENTRAL PATTERN GENERATORS ' ”
Computational approaches to motor control. (2001, background): “Such modular architectures (Figure 2) may exist within the spinal cord as well as in higher brain structures [71].”
The Extraction of Neural Information from the Surface EMG for the Control of Upper-Limb Prostheses: Emerging Avenues and Challenges (2014, methodology): “According to the muscle synergy theory [80], [81], the extracted activation Fig.”
Mapping Sub-Second Structure in Mouse Behavior. (2015, background): “It has been long hypothesized that innate behaviors are composed of stereotyped modules and that specific sequences of these modules encode coherent and adaptive patterns of action (Bizzi et al., 2000; Brown, 1911; Drai et al., 2000; Lashley, 1967; Sherrington, 1907; Tinbergen, 1951).”
The Dynamics of Legged Locomotion: Models, Analyses, and Challenges (2006, background): “In this view, complex motor functions are governed by afferent-mediated [260] networks of variably-coupled [55], feedforward, pattern-generating units [161] located remotely [31] from higher (brain) centers of function.”
