The Double Feedback Model of Neural Control of Locomotion: Is Immature Behavior Needed to Develop Mature Behavior?
Computational modeling is a commonly used method to understand, predict and explain for instance the organization of neuronal connectivity. Here it is applied to the problem of the development of the neural control of locomotion. Locomotion, e.g. walking and swimming, can be characterized as an alternate activation of opposing muscles and is controlled by central pattern generators, CPGs, in the s
