Flight and walking in locusts-cholinergic co-activation, temporal coupling and its modulation by biogenic amines.

Walking and flying in locusts are exemplary rhythmical behaviors generated by central pattern generators (CPG) that are tuned in intact animals by phasic sensory inputs. Although these two behaviors are mutually exclusive and controlled by independent CPGs, leg movements during flight can be coupled...
