![]() | Lawton, Kristy J. | Motor neurons tune premotor activity in a vertebrate central pattern generator | Central patterns generators (CPGs) are neural circuits that drive rhythmic motor output without sensory feedback. Vertebrate CPGs are generally believed to operate in a top-down manner in which premotor interneurons activate motor neurons that in turn drive muscles. In contrast, the frog (Xenopus la... | CPG; feed back; synchrony; vocal; vocalization; Xenopus | 2017 |

Hindbrain circuits also participate in generating rhythmic motor patterns for vocalization. In most tetrapods, sound production is powered by expiration and the circu... | fictive respiration; vocalization; pattern generation | 2016 |
