Optogenetic, genetic, and Ca2+ imaging approaches are being used to dissect the structure and function of locomotor CPGs.
The choice of preparation and mode of CPG activation depends on the experimental question being asked.
The chapter outlines established and new tools used to advance understanding of locomotor CPG function at cellular and network levels.
