Potential role of a ventral nerve cord central pattern generator in forward and backward locomotion in Caenorhabditis elegans

C. elegans locomotes in an undulatory fashion, generating thrust by propagating dorsoventral bends along its body. Although central pattern generators (CPGs) are typically involved in animal locomotion, their presence in C. elegans has been questioned, mainly because there has been no evident circui...
