Figure 1

A cross-species comparison of the neural basis of vertebrate movement. (A) Cladogram of vertebrate evolution with illustrations of movement patterns for each of the species listed as examples. The lamprey is the most primitive vertebrate and exhibits simple, undulatory swimming; zebrafish display more complex swimming patterns; the frog and salamander use both tail and limbs for movement; reptiles exhibit diagonal limb coordination; and mammals display complex fore−/hindlimb gaits. (B) Cardinal neuron classes that make up the spinal cord circuitry are derived from 11 progenitor domains. Some domains give rise to more than one neuron class, e.g., the p2 domain gives rise to the V2a, V2b, and V2c interneurons. (C) Comparison of interneuron subtypes and projection patterns in the spinal cord of zebrafish versus mice. Colors represent different neuron classes; gray represents neurons without a clear cardinal class identity.
