Resumo(s)

"Locomotion in natural environments is under constant adversities like terrain inhomogeneities or noise in neuromuscular systems. Still, animals are capable of maintaining a tight coordination of movement across their body to reach their desired goals. In both vertebrates and insects, the neural control of locomotion is distributed across multiple areas in the central nervous system which provide different levels of control. To guarantee a successful locomotion, self-motion information is thought to be important at these multiple levels. However how self-motion information is processed in natural scenarios and how it modulates the selection and/or execution of locomotor movements is still unclear.(...)"
