Interaction between wEE and wEI in controlling crawling speed. A Plots of segment displacement in varied combinations of the weights of intrasegmental connections between excitatory neurons wEE (along the horizontal axis) and from inhibitory neurons to excitatory neurons wEI (along the vertical axis). The plot enclosed in a black rectangle corresponds to the optimized condition. B A plot of speed as both wEE and wEI were perturbed. A grey line and a shaded region show the average and the range of speed observed in the experiment with third-instar larvae, respectively
