Motor neural networks in the leech

Trends Neurosci. 2023 Jul 6:S0166-2236(23)00140-6. doi: 10.1016/j.tins.2023.06.002. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLeeches display robust motor patterns and exhibit a relatively simple nervous system where neurons are unambiguously identified. This brief article focuses on Hirudo verbana and summarizes how research in this organism has contributed to insights in the field of motor control, where networks have been studied from population down to individual neuron perspectives.PMID:37422418 | DOI:10.1016/j.tins.2023.06.002
