Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does a group of segmental premotor interneurons regulate the speed of axial locomotion in Drosophila larvae?
Answer: Our results suggest that PMSIs control the speed of axial locomotion by limiting, via inhibition, the duration of motor outputs in each segment. Similar mechanisms are found in the regulation of mammalian limb locomotion, suggesting that common strategies may be used to control the speed of animal movements in a diversity of species.
Output (English): yes
