- This paper focuses on the coordination of rhythmic activity in the spinal cord where during swimming the two body sides demonstrate anti-phase oscillations. Our results reveal, for the first time, that simultaneous bursting occurs on both sides at twice the swimming frequency and a detailed biologically realistic computational model of the spinal cord was developed. The model is important at it shows that synchrony is a metastable regime which can last for several hundred milliseconds after which the system switches to a stable swimming mode. This finding can explain switching of movement regimes for different locomotion types.
