In Experiment 1, rats of 5, 10, 15, and 20 days of age were injected with L-DOPA to elicit stepping and videotaped while suspended in air and in warm water. Inter- and intralimb coordination were similar for L-DOPA-induced air-stepping and swimming at all ages. Other parameters of locomotion, such a
## Abstract Bath application of the excitatory amino acids Lβaspartate and/or Lβglutamate or their agonists NβmethylβD,Lβaspartate and/or kainate elicited swimming movements in spinal tadpoles. Swimming cycles induced by the amino acids were in the frequency range of natural movements, and could be
