Sentence examples for locomotion forward from inspiring English sources

It is thought that there is a competition between the forward and backward command interneurons to direct movement, and that the forward interneurons usually predominate, driving locomotion forward [12].

Each column summarizes the data for a given type of locomotion (Forward, Dwelling, Backward, and Quiescence) for all genotypes.

To identify such phenomena, we focused on four categories of locomotion behavior: forward and backward locomotion were defined by the appropriate directional propagation of body-bends along the anterior-posterior axis, dwelling was defined as non-directional propagation of body-bends, and quiescence was defined as sub-threshold changes in body angles (see 'Materials and methods').

Strongly decreased neuropeptide release resulted in a mild reduction in forward locomotion and a mild increase in backward locomotion during motion bouts.

Unlike bipeds, quadrupeds, or hexapods which alternate the legs for forward locomotion, the kangaroo uses both legs synchronously and generates the forward locomotion by continuous hopping behavior, and the tail actively balances the unwanted angular momentum generated by the leg motion.

Active wakefulness was dominated by forward locomotion (propagation of body-bends from the anterior to the posterior), but included intervals of backward locomotion and 'dwelling' (non-directional dynamics of body bends).

Some protozoans, usually flagellates, have along their bodies a longitudinal membrane that undulates, thereby producing a slow forward locomotion.

In addition to avoiding interference between adjacent cilia, the metachronal wave also produces continuous forward locomotion because there are always groups of cilia beating backward.

The dorsal fin and the anal fin (a ventral median fin) are used partly to aid in stability and in turning and partly in forward locomotion.

Sedimenting statoliths are not likely to be involved in graviperception because of the small size of the cells and their rotation around the longitudinal axis during forward locomotion.

Figure 13 gives the snake robot trajectory, showing the forward locomotion in the X direction and sinusoidal swing in the Y direction.
