Insects exhibit remarkable locomotor versatility underpinned by highly efficient neural control systems. Their ability to navigate complex terrains relies on the seamless integration of sensory inputs ...

A research article by scientists at the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics developed a neural control algorithm to coordinate the adhesive toes and limbs of the climbing robot. The new ...

Fruit flies walking on minature treadmills are helping scientists learn how the nervous system enables animals to move in an unpredictable and complex world. The researchers engineered these ...

Elongated fish like eels and lampreys are remarkable movers. Eels demonstrate exceptional locomotor ability, not only when swimming but also crawling on uneven ground. They can even swim after the ...

Cats always land on their feet, but what makes them so agile? Their unique sense of balance has more in common with humans than it may appear. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are ...

We may not think about it while doing it, but our nervous system is directing our bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and more to move as efficiently as possible at varying speeds. Replicating this in ...

Neuronal responses in cortical area MT to two speeds show a robust bias toward the faster speed when stimulus speeds are slow, which could benefit figure-ground segregation in natural scenes.
