| Abstract (English): |
What is the neural process that regulates the march? How the nervous system physiology and architecture affect the organism when it´s decide to navigate through the world? For living beings, everything starts with a single step; in this small process, the organisms break the inertia, one of the main forces that bind them to the earth. This first step gives rise to a dance, composed of a series of finely coordinated and orchestrated events in which the animal is able to integrate external and internal elements in order to move in a stable way. The march of living beings reflects a long evolutionary history, which leads to the construction and adaptation of a series of structures. This review use insects as models, to explain some of the fundamental neuronal elements needed to understand the process of walking. The insects share neural mechanisms of motor control with a large number of organisms, including mammals. We will review those elements that allow insects to coordinate their steps through a series of surfaces and at different speeds without stumbling, trying to explain those processes that have led a series of scientists to follow their steps.

¿Cuáles son los procesos neurales que regulan la marcha?, ¿Cómo influyen la fisiología y arquitectura del sistema nervioso de un organismo al momento de navegar por el mundo?. Para los seres vivos, todo parte con un primer paso, en este pequeño proceso los organismos rompen la inercia, una de las principales fuerzas que los amarran a la tierra. Este primer paso da origen a una danza, compuesta por serie de eventos finamente orquestados y coordinados en los que el animal es capaz de integrar elementos externos e internos con el fin de desplazarse de forma estable. La marcha de los seres vivos refleja una larga historia evolutiva que lleva a la construcción y adaptación de una serie de estructuras. Esta revisión, pretende introducir a algunos de los elementos neuronales fundamentales para comprender el proceso de marcha utilizando a los insectos como modelos. Estos comparten mecanismos neurales de control motor con una gran cantidad de organismos, incluidos los mamíferos. Revisaremos aquellos elementos que le permiten a los insectos coordinar sus pasos por una serie de superficies y a distintas velocidades sin tropezar, intentando explicar aquellos procesos que han llevado a una serie de científicos a seguir sus pasos.
