Central pattern generators articles from across Nature Portfolio A central pattern generator (CPG) is a neuronal network in which interconnected excitatory and inhibitory neurons produce an ...

Central pattern generator (CPG) networks produce the rhythmic motor patterns that underlie critical behaviors such as breathing, walking, and heartbeat. The fidelity of these neural circuits in ...

Scientists have built a pair of robotic legs that mimic our own by using a computational equivalent of the central pattern generator found in our nervous system.

The robot, designed by a team lead by Takashi Ikegami of the University of Tokyo and Hiroshi Ishiguro of Osaka University, runs on a "central pattern generator" that has networks that act ...

An international group of researchers has created a new approach to imitating human motion through combining central pattern generators (CPGs) and deep reinforcement learning (DRL).

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are groups of neurons that produce rhythmic patterned outputs, even when they receive non-rhythmic input. CPGs do not need sensory feedback to generate rhythmic ...

Professor Ikeue from Tokyo University describes the central pattern generator as "coupled pendulums" -- one bumps into another into another and a movement in formed.

The rhythmic activity of the central pattern generator (CPG) controlling locomotion emerges from complex interactions between the intrinsic membrane and synaptic properties of neurons involved and ...

As the researchers now report in the journal Neuron, the cells in the central pattern generator receive the initial stimulus for a movement from neurons in the nMLF region. They also discovered that ...

Our findings suggest that you would also have to restore proper activity in the ventral spinocerebellar tract neurons to ensure that the central pattern generator is working properly.
