Age- and speed-dependent modulation of gaits in DSCAM2J mutant mice.

Abstract excerpt

Gaits depend on the interplay between distributed spinal neural networks, termed central pattern generators, generating rhythmic and coordinated movements, primary afferents, and descending supraspinal inputs. Recent studies demonstrated that the mouse displays a rich repertoire of gaits. Changes in gaits occur in mutant mice lacking particular neurons or molecular signaling pathways implicated in the normal...
