For more than a century, scientists have known that while the commands that initiate movement come from the brain, the neurons that control locomotion once movement is underway reside within the ...

When studying how fossil hominids moved, researchers usually analyze the morphology of bones—which is crucial for understanding the evolution of bipedalism—focusing mainly on muscle insertion sites.

One of the most fascinating periods in the evolution of the human lineage is the appearance of the first ancestors capable of ...

One of the most fascinating periods in the evolution of the human lineage is the appearance of the first ancestors capable of bipedalism. Knowing the type of locomotion used by many fossil species — ...

A hierarchy of models guided by experimental results from zebrafish shows that coordinated, variable-speed locomotion can emerge from network-level interactions among interneuron populations with ...

On Saturday we brought you news of a new breed of modular robot called Mori3. Comprised of a number of bidimensional polygons that can come together to form three-dimensional tools and machines, it's ...
