Neurons, Networks, and Motor Behavior
The field of motor pattern generation and motor control has progressed markedly in the last decade. There has been a revolutionary shift in thinking from hard-wired circuits to multifunctional networks. Yet, it is clear that we still have a long way to go before we understand how very large ensembles of neurons produce behaviors. The systems where we have made the most headway are those that ha...
متن کاملSpecificity of visual and motor cortex neurons activity in behavior.
The involvement of the units of visual (VC) and motor cortex (MC) in the systemic behavioral mechanisms is determined by the "environment" and "executive mechanisms of behavior". The unit activity in VC and MC, head and lower jaw movements, EMG of m. masseter and latency of touching the food were recorded. In experiment I the rabbits eyes were covered with occluders that were put on and taken ...
متن کاملMotor Behavior Activates Bergmann Glial Networks
Although it is firmly established that neuronal activity is a prime determinant of animal behavior, relationships between astrocytic excitation and animal behavior have remained opaque. Cerebellar Bergmann glia are radial astrocytes that are implicated in motor behavior and exhibit Ca(2+) excitation. However, Ca(2+) excitation in these cells has not previously been studied in behaving animals. ...
متن کاملMirror neurons and motor intentionality.
Our social life rests to a large extent on our ability to understand the intentions of others. What are the bases of this ability? A very influential view is that we understand the intentions of others because we are able to represent them as having mental states. Without this meta-representational (mind-reading) ability their behavior would be meaningless to us. Over the past few years this vi...
متن کاملLocalization of Motor Neurons and Central Pattern Generators for Motor Patterns Underlying Feeding Behavior in Drosophila Larvae
Motor systems can be functionally organized into effector organs (muscles and glands), the motor neurons, central pattern generators (CPG) and higher control centers of the brain. Using genetic and electrophysiological methods, we have begun to deconstruct the motor system driving Drosophila larval feeding behavior into its component parts. In this paper, we identify distinct clusters of motor ...
