 nimal locomotion is rhythmic\, whether it is achieved through undulatory mo
 vement of the whole body or the coordination of jointed limbs. Neurobiologi
 sts have long studied locomotor circuits that produce rhythmic activity wit
 h non-rhythmic input\, also called central pattern generators (CPGs). Howev
 er\, the cellular and circuit implementation of a walking CPG has not been 
 described for any limbed animal. New comprehensive connectomes of the fruit
  fly ventral nerve cord (VNC) provide an opportunity to study rhythmogenic 
 walking circuits at a synaptic scale. We use a data-driven network modeling
  approach to identify and characterize a putative walking CPG circuit in th
 e <i>Drosophila</i> leg motor system.</span></p>
