چکیده

How does the nervous system coordinate the control of different behaviors? For example, different rhythmic behaviors that normally function independently may need to work together under certain circumstances. One example of this phenomenon is the way that our respiratory rate goes up when we start running. Vertebrate breathing frequency increases immediately with locomotor activity, so it’s not just the lack of oxygen that makes us breathe faster. Respiratory rates and limb movements can also be coupled in a oneto-one fashion during fast gaits, presumably both to maintain sufficient oxygen levels and to avoid mechanical interference.
