(Parts 1, 2) Upon co-ablation of the premotor INs and B-MNs, animals exhibit sluggish forward locomotion where the body passively follows head oscillation. (Parts 3, 4) Upon the co-ablation of premotor INs and A-MNs, animals exhibit exclusively reversallocomotion, with active body bending, robust rhythmicity, and velocity. Periodically, reversals were interrupted, when, with exaggerated head oscillation, the anterior and posterior body segments are pulled into opposing directions. (Parts 5, 6) Upon the co-ablation of premotor INs and D-MNs, animals exhibit kinker-like postures.
