Central pattern generators are neural networks in the spinal cord that can produce rhythmic movements, such as those involved in walking, running, and shaking off fur. Therefore, a dog shaking itself to dry off is the most likely behavior to result from the activity of central pattern generators. The other behaviors listed are more complex and involve higher brain functions.
