Abstract excerpt
This essay considers the ontogeny and phylogeny of the cranial neural circuitry producing rhythmic behaviors in vertebrates. These behaviors are characterized by predictable temporal patterns established by a neuronal network variously referred to as either a pacemaker, neural oscillator or central pattern generator. Comparative vertebrate studies have demonstrated that the embryonic hindbrain is divided into...
