Invertebrate neurobiology: brain control of insect walking

Curr Biol. 2010 May 25;20(10):R438-40. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2010.03.049.

Abstract

Neurogenetic and lesion studies have identified regions of the insect brain that can modulate and direct locomotion. Activities of these neurons have now been recorded in cockroaches during walking.
