A neural ensemble model of the respiratory central pattern generator: properties of the minimal model

A computational model of the respiratory central pattern generator is considered in this work. The model is based on mutual inhibition of two core neuron pools, which neurons accommodate as the result of Ca influx and activation of Ca-dependent K + channels (J. Neurophysiol. 77 (1997) 1994). The mod...

Description
Summary:A computational model of the respiratory central pattern generator is considered in this work. The model is based on mutual inhibition of two core neuron pools, which neurons accommodate as the result of Ca influx and activation of Ca-dependent K + channels (J. Neurophysiol. 77 (1997) 1994). The model yields known respiratory neuron types and explains by ensemble features the observable properties of these respiratory neurons. Original procedures for the adequate presentation of the modeling data are described.
