Control of functional systems in the brainstem and spinal cord.
Progress has been made in the identification of cells, circuits, and networks involved in certain important subcortical functional systems, including swallowing, chewing, posture and locomotion, and in the shared mechanisms for selecting the network for specific motor tasks, including a role for excitatory amino acids for network activation, the shaping of the network by inhibitory control, and the selection of inputs and modulation of outputs by monoamines and other agents.
