Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Central pattern generators (CPGs) are neural circuits in the spinal cord that generate rhythmic movements, such as walking, even in the absence of sensory or descending inputs that convey specific timing information. This is why infants can exhibit walking movements when placed on a treadmill, as the CPGs are inherently capable of producing these patterns of movement.
