Central pattern generator (CPG) and reflex network coordinated by speed adjustment commands from a higher-level nerve centre (a), and overall control framework (b). An international group of ...

In a new study, scientists from the University of Cologne gained new insights into the mechanism of the rhythmic activation of nerve cells (neurons) in stick insects that control the leg muscles ...

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 ...

Testing digital designs usually requires one or more digital signals, some of which can be very difficult to generate. Pattern generators are specifically designed to address this problem. Whatever ...
