虽然人们普遍认为，适应性行为是从神经系统、身体和环境之间持续的相互作用中产生的，但直到最近几年才有可能通过实验研究和模拟这些相互作用的系统。我们简要地回顾了软体动物喂养，猫和人类的姿势控制，运动模拟七鳃鳗，昆虫，猫和蝾螈，和主动触须传感大鼠的工作，以说明的见解，可以从神经控制和传感的研究在生物力学的背景下。这些研究表明，控制可能是共享之间的神经系统和外围，神经活动组织成生物力学意义的子集的自由度，力学本身可能在强制执行步态模式中发挥关键作用，传感器的力学是至关重要的功能。
Although it is widely recognized that adaptive behavior emerges from the ongoing interactions among the nervous system, the body, and the environment, it has only become possible in recent years to experimentally study and to simulate these interacting systems. We briefly review work on molluscan feeding, maintenance of postural control in cats and humans, simulations of locomotion in lamprey, insect, cat and salamander, and active vibrissal sensing in rats to illustrate the insights that can be derived from studies of neural control and sensing within a biomechanical context. These studies illustrate that control may be shared between the nervous system and the periphery, that neural activity organizes degrees of freedom into biomechanically meaningful subsets, that mechanics alone may play crucial roles in enforcing gait patterns, and that mechanics of sensors is crucial for their function.
