Reversible silencing of lumbar spinal interneurons unmasks a task-specific network for securing hindlimb alternation

Intra- and interlimb coordination during locomotion is governed by hierarchically organized lumbar spinal networks. Here, the authors show that reversible silencing of spinal L2–L5 interneurons specifically disrupts hindlimb alternation leading to a continuum of walking to hopping.
