    • Abstract: We studied the GABAergic control of the spinal locomotor network using an isolated brain stem/spinal cord from newborn rats, in which locomotor‐like activity was recorded. We demonstrate that endogenously released GABA controls the locomotor network, by decreasing or completely abolishing all locomotor‐like activity. At first, we investigated the role played by GABA in the control of the locomotor period. By separately superfusing various compartments of the lumbar cord, we identified… CONTINUE READING
