Sensory control and organization of neural networks mediating coordination of multisegmental organs for locomotion.

abstract：:A classical question in neuroscience is which features of a stimulus or of an action are represented in brain activity. When several features are interdependent either at a given point in time or at distinct points in time, neural activity related to one feature appears to be correlated with other features. Thus techn...
