Locomotion in a Lower Vertebrate: Studies of the Cellular Basis of Rhythmogenesis and Oscillator Coupling

Abstract

To test whether the known connectivies of neurons in the lamprey spinal cord are sufficient to account for locomotor rhythmogenesis, a CCconnection(cid:173) ist" neural network simulation was done using identical cells connected ac(cid:173) cording to experimentally established patterns. It was demonstrated that the network oscillates in a stable manner with the same phase relation(cid:173) ships among the neurons as observed in the lamprey. The model was then used to explore coupling between identical <?scillators. It was concluded that the neurons can have a dual role as rhythm generators and as coordi(cid:173) nators between oscillators to produce the phase relations observed among segmental oscillators during swimming.
