Abstract


Introduction

Nature always represents the best modes of movement for creatures. physiological studies of the nerves of the living organism have shown that the basic and repetitive movements of the body with neural networks are created as a central pattern generator

Methods

. researchers have shown the role of spinal cord in regulating movement. reflex arc or stimulus response model for understanding spinal cord activity. so that an external stimulation causes a predictable move response

Results

The central generator of the moving pattern is the neuronal circuits seen both in the vertebrates and in the mollusks and they can produce periodic patterns without periodic inputs

Conclusion

These circuits are the agent of basic routine movements such as chewing, breathing, digestion, and also the cornerstone of moving neuronal circuits, such as walking, swimming, flying, crawling, etc.

Keywords
