Abstract
Abstract: The forebrain, brain stem, and spinal cord contribution to the control of locomotion is reviewed in this chapter. The lamprey is used as an experimental model because it allows a detailed cellular analysis of the neuronal network underlying locomotion. The focus is on cellular mechanisms that are important for the pattern generation, as well as different types of pre‐ and postsynaptic modulation. Neuropeptides target different cellular and synaptic mechanisms and cause long‐lasting changes (>24 h) in network function.Keywords
