Definition
Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neural networks that can produce organized rhythmic patterns in the absence of rhythmic sensory and descending inputs from other parts of the nervous system (Marder and Calabrese 1996).
Detailed Description
Vertebrate Central Pattern Generators
The central nervous systems of vertebrates contain many types of central pattern generators (CPGs) that generate and control various rhythmic movements. These CPGs control important functions, including different forms of locomotion, such as swimming, walking, running, and flying, and non-locomotor processes and behaviors, such as breathing, swallowing, chewing, mastication, scratching, whisking (in rodents), singing (in birds), etc. This overview focuses on computational models of locomotion and breathing in mammals, which are briefly discussed below. Other known models of vertebrate CPGs include CPGs controlling...
