A step toward understanding the human ventral visual pathway.

abstract：:Interjoint coordination is essential for proper walking behavior in multi-jointed insect legs. We have shown previously that movement signals from the femur-tibia (FT) joint can shape motor activity of the adjacent coxa-trochanter (CT) joint in the stick insect, Carausius morosus. Here, we present data on the role of ...
