A canonical excitatory–inhibitory motif embedded in the connectome underlies rhythmic locomotion in Drosophila larvae
It is shown that Drosophila larval forward locomotion is generated by a segmentally repeated excitatory–inhibitory network centred on the excitatory A18f and inhibitory A02j neurons, identifying a canonical excitatory–inhibitory motif embedded within the connectome as a biological implementation of a rhythm-generating...
