Marmoset monkeys develop their vocal behavior prior to their postural and locomotor skills, but the coordination of these two motor systems emerges gradually via changes in arousal level.

Behavioral, optogenetic, and computational modeling analyses show that the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans uses a relaxation oscillation mechanism to generate rhythmic locomotor patterns.

Phasic activation of dorsal raphe serotonin neurons transiently inhibits locomotion without influencing anxiety or producing reinforcement, but when repeated over many days a long-term facilitation of locomotion is produced.

The forward locomotor circuit of the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans consists of multiple rhythm-generating units coupled to one another in a bidirectional manner.
Functional imaging of individual sensory afferents that innervate the cranial meninges in a mouse migraine model reveals heightened responsiveness to movement-related meningeal deformations that may underlie headache.
Retinal motion patterns during locomotion are shaped by gait, gaze location, and the terrain, and these motion patterns may influence the way motion sensitivity and receptive field properties vary across the visual field.

Neurons in the brain exhibit activity with various relations to locomotion and these signals are best decoded by combining activities from many neurons.
Human infants can use various muscle activations as soon as birth to produce rhythmic leg movements, but the strategy underlying this variable output seems to change between the first months of life and toddlerhood.
