Complex tasks like hunting moving prey in an unpredictable environment require high levels of motor and sensory integration. An animal needs to detect and track suitable prey objects, measure their distance and orientation relative to its own positio

Understanding how animals control locomotion in different behaviors requires understanding both the kinematics of leg movements and the neural activity underlying these movements. Stick insect leg kinematics differ in forward and backward walking. De

We performed electrophysiological and behavioral experiments in single-leg preparations and intact animals of the stick insect Carausius morosus to understand mechanisms underlying the control of walking speed. At the level of the single leg, we foun

SummaryIn its natural habitat, Carausius morosus climbs on the branches of bushes and trees. Previous work suggested that stick insects perform targeting movements with their hind legs to find support more easily. It has been assumed that the animals

SummaryLegged locomotion is the most common behavior of terrestrial animals and it is assumed to have become highly optimized during evolution. Quadrupeds, for instance, use distinct gaits which are optimal with regard to metabolic cost and have char
