The intrinsic operation of the networks that make us locomote

Highlights • Core of excitatory V2a interneurons form burst-generating units. • Subclasses of V2a interneurons innervate slow, intermediate and fast motoneurons in zebrafish. • V0 neurones contribute to interlimb coordination. • Variation in cellular properties within one class of neurons makes for...

Description
Summary:Highlights • Core of excitatory V2a interneurons form burst-generating units. • Subclasses of V2a interneurons innervate slow, intermediate and fast motoneurons in zebrafish. • V0 neurones contribute to interlimb coordination. • Variation in cellular properties within one class of neurons makes for more stable network activity — a design feature.
