This next video is a great example for the function of Central Pattern Generators (CPGs): CPGs are neural networks that can endogenously produce rhythmic patterned outputs without the benefit of sensory feedback; these networks underlie the production of most rhythmic motor patterns (walking, breathing, driving, riding a bike, etc.). In addition (as presented in the video below),CPGs can also explain how movement can be modified by the constant flow of sensory feedback. After watching this great

// Terminology Tuesday - The Central Pattern Generators // When a foal is born, the gaits are already embedded. The limb sequences and their diagonal connections are already present in all gaits. This is because of the Central Pattern Generators. Put simply, the Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are dense clusters of nerves in the spinal cord that coordinate the limb movements. There is one in the cervical thoracic region (withers) and another in the lumbar/sacral region (loins). The concept of
