2000, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :Since we have a relatively detailed knowledge of how the network functions, the network effects of a modulator can (to some extent) be predicted from its different cellular actions. Extensive biologically relevant mathematical models of the locomotor network have also been developed, based on knowledge of the properties and synaptic connectivity of nerve cells in the network [34,41,68]. In these simulations, known specific modulator-mediated effects on the cellular level can be induced to investigate how these different effects contribute to the overall change in the network output.
GABA<inf>B</inf>-ergic modulation of burst rate and intersegmental coordination in lamprey: Experiments and simulations
2000, Brain ResearchCitation Excerpt :This can be studied using the lamprey spinal locomotor network [7–9,16,33,42]. The basic segmental network consists of reciprocally connected inhibitory glycinergic interneurons (C-neurons), and glutamatergic excitatory interneurons (E-neurons) which provide alternating glutamatergic excitation and glycinergic inhibition of the interneurons [8,15,20]. By adding excitatory amino acids to the isolated spinal cord an alternating rhythmic bursting activity can be evoked [5,11,17].
