"Central pattern generators (CPGs) can be defined as neural networks that can endogenously (i.e. without rhythmic sensory or central input) produce rhythmic patterned outputs" or as "neural circuits that generate periodic motor commands for rhythmic movements such as locomotion. " CPGs have been shown to produce rhythmic outputs resembling normal "rhythmic motor pattern production" even in isolation from motor and sensory feedback from limbs and other muscle targets.

  • "Central pattern generators (CPGs) can be defined as neural networks that can endogenously (i.e. without rhythmic sensory or central input) produce rhythmic patterned outputs" or as "neural circuits that generate periodic motor commands for rhythmic movements such as locomotion. " CPGs have been shown to produce rhythmic outputs resembling normal "rhythmic motor pattern production" even in isolation from motor and sensory feedback from limbs and other muscle targets. To be classified as a rhythmic generator, a CPG requires: 1. "two or more processes that interact such that each process sequentially increases and decreases, and 2. that, as a result of this interaction, the system repeatedly returns to its starting condition.
