The concept of command releasing system CRS interprets Tinbergen’s concept of (innate) releasing mechanism in a neurophysiological context.

A CRS considers combinatorial aspects of stimulus perception as a sensorimotor code in a sensorimotor interface. A coded command involves different types of neurons, each type monitoring or analyzing a certain stimulus aspect, e.g., prey-selective T5.2 neurons. The idea is that a certain combination of such command elements cooperatively activates a certain motor pattern–generating system in the presence of adequate motivational and attentional inputs. It is suggested that certain command elements can be shared by different sensorimotor codes.
