Fig. 7. Kinetics of stance direction is fastest in front legs. The time course of stance direction during turning differs between legs. (O1–O3) Time courses of outer front, middle, and hind leg, respectively, as the animal turns to the right. (I1–I3) Time courses of inner legs (see insert on lower right). Values are means ± S.D. of 33 trials in eight animals, every 0.54 s (14 bins per 7.5 s interval). Bold solid lines show the time course of the exponential fitting function that explains most of the variance. Differences between the steady state stance directions (RCRS) and time constants of the time course ({tau}) are indicated in the top left corner of each diagram. Values in grey are not statistically significant. Stance direction changes strongest and fastest in front legs. The equally strong change in the inner middle leg is, on average, much slower. Since the change RCRS in the inner hind leg is not significant, no curve fit was calculated for this data set.
