Order parameter for bursting polyrhythms in multifunctional central pattern generators.
We examine multistability of several coexisting bursting patterns in a central pattern generator network composed of three Hodgkin-Huxley type cells coupled reciprocally by inhibitory synapses. We establish that the control of switching between bursting polyrhythms and their bifurcations are determined by the temporal characteristics, such as the duty cycle, of networked interneurons and the co...
متن کاملKey Bifurcations of Bursting Polyrhythms in 3-Cell Central Pattern Generators
We identify and describe the key qualitative rhythmic states in various 3-cell network motifs of a multifunctional central pattern generator (CPG). Such CPGs are neural microcircuits of cells whose synergetic interactions produce multiple states with distinct phase-locked patterns of bursting activity. To study biologically plausible CPG models, we develop a suite of computational tools that re...
متن کاملPhase and Exact Models for Multifunctional Central Pattern Generators
We compare multistability in central pattern generator (CPG) motifs comprised either of biologically plausible Hodgkin-Huxley models of bursting leech heart interneurons or of phenomenologically reduced phase models. We propose a novel computational tool for detailed examination of polyrhythmic bursting in biophysical CPG models with coupling asymmetries and arbitrary coupling strength. We carr...
متن کاملMultistability in Bursting Patterns in a Model of a Multifunctional Central Pattern Generator
A multifunctional central pattern generator (CPG) can produce bursting polyrhythms that determine locomotive activity in an animal: for example, swimming and crawling in a leech. Each rhythm corresponds to a specific attractor of the CPG. We employ a Hodgkin-Huxley type model of a bursting leech heart interneuron, and connect three such neurons by fast inhibitory synapses to form a ring. This n...
متن کاملCentral pattern generators
What are they? Central pattern generators (CPGs) are relatively small, relatively autonomous groups of neurons (neural networks) that produce patterned, rhythmic neural outputs that drive rhythmic behaviours. In addition to generating boring behaviours like walking, CPGs are also responsible for dancing, chewing, swallowing, suckling, copulation and orgasm — all the things that make life worthw...
