A well-trained athlete sprinting 100 yards performs a highly stereotyped, repetitive motor pattern. Neuroscientists understand that these rhythmic motor programs, such as walking, swimming and running ...

A spinal pattern generator controls the ejaculatory response. Activation of this spinal generator elicits rhythmic motor patterns of the striated musculature that surrounds the genital tract that ...

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are groups of neurons that produce rhythmic patterned outputs, even when they receive non-rhythmic input. CPGs do not need sensory feedback to generate rhythmic ...
