摘要

Among various types of behaviors,locomotion is the foundation for exploration,navigation,foraging,and approaching.Proper locomotion enables animals to move from one place to another via a sequence of actions and is essential for their survival.An excess,paucity,or imbalance of movements is considered to be a movement disorder which can impair the quality of or threaten survival [1].Movement disorders that appear in neurodegenerative diseases are becoming an increasing menace to human health [2].Studying the neural mechanism underlying each action during locomotion is the key to understand and explore therapy for such disorders.
