This study uses a neuromusculoskeletal model to show how afferent feedback enables adaptive interlimb coordination in cats after sudden ground loss, without re-optimizing parameters.

The paper develops a spiking neural network model of spinal circuits to predict optimal therapeutic windows for ALS intervention by analyzing the effects of V1 interneuron stabilization.

This study develops a mathematical model of mouse locomotion to investigate the roles of sensory feedback and central interactions in gait control.

The paper identifies a single transcription factor isoform, broad-z4, as a terminal selector that controls neuronal identity in Drosophila by switching the identity of two visual projection neurons.

The paper investigates how synaptic topography in Drosophila descending neurons affects linear encoding of synapse numbers using EM connectomics and multicompartment models.

This paper presents a physiologically plausible neuromechanical model to study spinal control of human locomotion, showing that CPGs are necessary for rhythmic movement and that reflexes primarily provide inhibitory feedback.

The paper investigates directional invariance in Drosophila's looming response circuit, showing that giant fibers integrate visual information from both eyes to generate consistent escape responses.
