      abstract     = {Legged locomotion is a fundamental form of activity of
                      insects during which the legs perform coordinated movements.
                      Sensory signals conveying position, velocity and load of a
                      leg are sent between the thoracic ganglia where the local
                      control networks of the leg muscles are situated. They
                      affect the actual state of the local control networks, hence
                      the stepping of the legs. Sensory coordination in stepping
                      has been intensively studied but important details of its
                      neuronal mechanisms are still unclear. One possibility to
                      tackle this problem is to study what happens to the
                      coordination if a leg is, reversibly or irreversibly,
                      deprived of its normal function. There are numerous
                      behavioral studies on this topic but they could not fully
                      uncover the underlying neuronal mechanisms. Another
                      promising approach to make further progress here can be the
                      use of appropriate models that help elucidate those
                      coordinating mechanisms. We constructed a model of three
                      ipsilateral legs of a stick insect that can mimic
                      coordinated stepping of these legs. We used this model to
                      investigate the possible effects of decoupling a leg. We
                      found that decoupling of the front or the hind leg did not
                      disrupt the coordinated walking of the two remaining legs.
                      However, decoupling of the middle leg yielded mixed results.
                      Both disruption and continuation of coordinated stepping of
                      the front and hind leg occurred. These results agree with
                      the majority of corresponding experimental findings. The
                      model suggests a number of possible mechanisms of decoupling
                      that might bring about the changes.},
