Invertebrate Neurobiology: Sensory Processing in Reverse for Backward Walking
نویسنده
چکیده
Humans and many other animals can readily walk forward or backward. In insects, the nervous system changes the effects of sense organs that signal forces on a leg when the direction of walking is reversed.

Invertebrate nociception: behaviors, neurons and molecules.
Genetic analysis of nociceptive behaviors in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster has led to the discovery of conserved sensory transduction channels and signaling molecules. These are embedded in neurons and circuits that generate responses to noxious signals. This article reviews the neurons and molecular mechanisms that underlie invertebrate nocicepti...
متن کاملInvertebrate Neurobiology: Brain Control of Insect Walking
Neurogenetic and lesion studies have identified regions of the insect brain that can modulate and direct locomotion. Activities of these neurons have now been recorded in cockroaches during walking.
متن کاملSegment specificity of load signal processing depends on walking direction in the stick insect leg muscle control system.
In terrestrial locomotion, sensory feedback from load sensors is important for altering ongoing motor output on a step-by-step basis. We investigated the influence of load signals from the leg on motoneuron pools of the thorax-coxa (ThC) joint in the stick insect walking system. Load sensors were stimulated during rhythmic, alternating activity in protractor coxae (ProCx) and retractor coxae (R...
متن کاملEffect of Backward Walking Training on Improves Postural Stability in Children with Down syndrome
Background Motor intervention plays an important role in reducing the disabilities of Down syndrome (DS). A lack of balance and postural control has created motor problems in DS patients. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of backward walking on postural stability of DS patients. Materials and Methods Sixteen DS children with 8-10 age range were selected by convenience s...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare vertical ground reaction force during forward and backward walking among the male professional Karatekas with genu varum and normal knee. Methods: 20 professional male Karates (in genu varum and normal groups) participated in this semi-experimental study. The vertical ground reaction force was measured using force plate system during forward ...
