Over the past decade, technological advances in experimental and animal tracking
techniques have motivated a renewed theoretical interest in animal collective motion and, in …

Locust density-dependent phase polyphenism presents a quintessential example of
environmentally induced plasticity. Almost a century of research has yielded ample knowledge …

… However, as recently reviewed by Ayali et al. [32], sensory feedback is also instrumental
for generating adaptive locomotion in cockroaches (see also [33]). Signals from leg …

Locusts are grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) that are characterised by their capacity for
extreme population density-dependent polyphenism, transforming between a cryptic …

A bewildering series of dynamical processes take part in the development of the nervous
system. Neuron branching dynamics, the continuous formation and elimination of neural …

We use in vitro neuronal networks as a model system for studying self-organization processes
in the nervous system. We follow the neuronal growth process, from isolated neurons to …

Unmanned ground vehicles are mostly wheeled, tracked, or legged. These locomotion
mechanisms have a limited ability to traverse rough terrain and obstacles that are higher than the …

The organization of neurons and glia cells on substrates composed of pristine carbon
nanotube islands was investigated using high resolution scanning electron microscopy, …

It is now clear that neuromodulators can reconfigure a single motor network to allow the
generation of a family of related movements. Using dopamine modulation of the 14‐neuron …

Animals’ ability to demonstrate both stereotyped and adaptive locomotor behavior is largely
dependent on the interplay between centrally generated motor patterns and the sensory …
