Control of reflex reversal in stick insect walking: effects of intersegmental signals, changes in direction, and optomotor-induced turning.
In many animals, the effects of sensory feedback on motor output change during locomotion. These changes can occur as reflex reversals in which sense organs that activate muscles to counter perturbations in posture control instead reinforce movements in walking. The mechanisms underlying these changes are only partially understood. As such, it is unclear whether reflex reversals are modulated w...
متن کاملThe behavioural transition from straight to curve walking: kinetics of leg movement parameters and the initiation of turning.
The control of locomotion requires the ability to adapt movement sequences to the behavioural context of the animal. In hexapod walking, adaptive behavioural transitions require orchestration of at least 18 leg joints and twice as many muscle groups. Although kinematics of locomotion has been studied in several arthropod species and in a range of different behaviours, almost nothing is known ab...
متن کاملIntersegmental coordination: The Influence of a Single Walking Leg on the Neighbouring Segments in the Stick Insect Walking System
A key element of walking is the coordinated interplay of multiple limbs to achieve a stable locomotor pattern that is adapted to the environment. We investigated intersegmental coordination of walking in the stick insect, Carausius morosus by examining the influence a single stepping leg has on the motoneural activity of the other hemiganglia, and whether this influence changes with the walking...
