Motor control in a meta-network with attractor dynamics.

abstract：:Three rhythmic movements, breathing, walking, and chewing, are considered from the perspective of the emerging factors that control their coordination. This takes us beyond the concept of a core excitatory kernel and into the common principles that govern the interaction between components of the neural networks that ...
