Pharmacological Activation and Modulation of the Central Pattern Generator for Locomotion in the Cata

Abstract: Pharmacological agents have been shown to be capable of inducing a pattern of rhythmic activity recorded in muscle nerves or motoneurons of paralyzed spinal cats that closely resembles the locomotor pattern seen in intact cats. Further work, using intraperitoneal or intrathecal injections, suggests that different neurotransmitters may be involved in various aspects of locomotor control, e.g., initiation and modulation of the pattern. Although precursors, agonists or the neurotransmitters themselves of several … Show more

“…Initiation of hindlimb movement is influenced by 5-HT activation of motor output via a central pattern generator (Rossignol et al, 1998;Grillner and Wallen, 2002) that organizes automated execution of hindlimb movements. Administration of 5-HT or quipazine has been shown to lead to immediate improvement of locomotion (Antri et al, 2005).…”

“…In many animals, central pattern generators (CPGs) afford the spinal cord nearly autonomous control of basic locomotor rhythms [lamprey (Grillner, 1985;Grillner et al, 1995); frog (Arshavsky et al, 1993;Roberts et al, 1995); turtle (Lennard and Stein, 1977); cat (Brown, 1911;Grillner and Zangger, 1979;Rossignol et al, 1998)]. In humans and other primates, the behavioral and neurophysiological evidence for CPGs remains incomplete, although studies of humans with spinal cord injury (Calancie et al, 1994;Dimitrijevic et al, 1998) and infant stepping patterns (Yang et al, 1998(Yang et al, , 2004 support the existence of similar circuitry.…”

“…In vertebrates, adult CPGs can produce multiple motor outputs under the control of different modulatory signals (Sillar et al, 1997;Rossignol et al, 1998;Lieske et al, 2000). These CPGs are present very early in development (Sillar et al, 1997;Fenelon et al, 1998b;Kudo and Nishimaru, 1998;Branchereau et al, 2001) and also express multiple outputs in response to distinct modulatory environments (Sillar et al, 1998;Branchereau et al, 2001).…”
