Organization of left–right coordination of neuronal activity in the mammalian spinal cord: Insights from computational modelling

Abstract: Key pointsr Coordination of neuronal activity between left and right sides of the mammalian spinal cord is provided by several sets of commissural interneurons (CINs) whose axons cross the midline. Genetically identified inhibitory V0 D and excitatory V0 V CINs and ipsilaterally projecting excitatory V2a interneurons were shown to secure left-right alternation at different locomotor speeds.r We have developed computational models of neuronal circuits in the spinal cord that include left and right rhythm-genera… Show more

“…Furthermore, V2a neurons project to V0 V neurons 83 and to motor neurons 88 . They are also active over a wide range of locomotor frequencies 89,90 but fire more strongly at higher frequencies 91 , which is compatible with a subpopulation of V2a neurons being involved in directly driving the V0 V pathway at higher speeds of locomotion 53 (FIG. 3c).…”

“…A recent modelling study has incorporated the V0 D –V0 V population pathways in a general model of the limb locomotor network and has proposed a scheme for the connectivity and recruitment of the different CNs during different speeds of locomotion 53 . Such connectivity and recruitment patterns await further studies.…”

“…An emerging consensus is that the spinal mechanisms at slow frequencies are different from those at higher ones (Shevtsova et al 2015;Talpalar et al 2013). Although we can only speculate, it is also possible that an increase in speed activates neuronal mechanisms that help reduce step-to-step variability.…”
