title: Motor program selection in simple model systems.
abstract: In recent years, studies of molluscan and crustacean feeding circuits have greatly expanded our knowledge of how the nervous system selects specific behaviors. Increasing use of neurobehavioral studies, and examination of the roles of identified command-like or influential neurons have narrowed the gap between knowledge of circuit connectivity and understanding of the normal behavioral functions of these circuits.
