ABSTRACT

This reflection, inspired by the article “Neurobiology of motor control in Insects” raises the particularities of motor control of chordates and especially in mammals, as well as the difficulty to raise motor control through a central pattern generator (GCP). However, several functional analogies between insects and mammals are discussed.
