PY - 2021 T2 - Principles of Neural Science, 6e AB - LOCOMOTION IS ONE OF THE MOST FUNDAMENTAL of animal behaviors and is common to all members of the animal kingdom. As one might expect of such an essential behavior, the neural mechanisms responsible for the basic alternating rhythmicity that underlies locomotion are highly conserved throughout the animal kingdom, from invertebrates to vertebrates, and from the early vertebrates to primates. However, while the basic locomotor-generating circuits have been conserved, the evolution of limbs, and then of ever more complex patterns of behavior, has resulted in the development of progressively more complex spinal and supraspinal circuits (Figure 33–1).
