Regulation of coordinated muscular relaxation in Drosophila larvae by a pattern-regulating intersegmental circuit

Patterned movements in animals are achieved through combinations of contraction and delayed relaxation of muscles. Here, the authors identify a class of cholinergic higher-order premotor interneurons that regulates muscular relaxation during backward locomotion of Drosophila larvae.
