Locomotion circuits developed in simple animals, and circuit motifs further evolved in higher animals. To understand locomotion circuit motifs, they must be characterized in many models. The nematode <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> possesses one of the best-studied circuits for undulatory movement. Yet, for 1/6<sup>th</sup> of the cholinergic motor neurons (MNs), the AS MNs, functional information is unavailable. Ventral nerve cord (VNC) MNs coordinate undulations, in small circuits of complementa ...[more]
