Premotor nonspiking neurons regulate coupling among motoneurons that innervate overlapping muscle fiber population

Recent work indicated that co-activity of different motoneurons (MNs) in the leech can be regulated through a network that is centered on a pair of nonspiking (NS) neurons. Here, we investigate whether this effect generalizes to different types of MNs that display differential co-activity patterns i...
