Abstract
⺠We examined how different substrates affect stepping in newborn rats. ⺠Stepping in one-day-old rat pups was induced with the 5-HT agonist quipazine. ⺠Quipazine induced plantar paw contact with a substrate. ⺠Pups made more contact with elastic than stiff substrate during stepping. ⺠Sensory feedback modulates locomotor mechanisms during early development.
