Constancy and variability in the output of a central pattern generator.
Experimental and corresponding modeling studies have demonstrated a twofold to fivefold variation of intrinsic and synaptic parameters across animals, whereas functional output is maintained. These studies have led to the hypothesis that correlated, compensatory changes in particular parameters can at least partially explain the biological variability in parameters. Using the leech heartbeat ce...
متن کاملComputational modelling of a Central Pattern Generator
Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are small, rhythmically active networks, which control simple repetitive behaviours, in both vertebrates and invertebrates. Research on CPGs aims at understanding how the periodic pattern is generated and modulated, by investigating the intrinsic and synaptic properties of the component neurons. In this study, we present a mathematical, biophysically-realistic ...
متن کاملWalking Pattern Generator Using an Evolutionary Central Pattern Generator
For the generation of locomotion, such as walking, running or swimming, vertebrate and invertebrate animals use the Central Pattern Generator (CPG). In this paper, a walking pattern generator is proposed using an evolutionary optimized CPG. Sensory feedback pathways in CPG are proposed, which uses Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) signals. For the optimization of CPG parameters, quantuminspired evol...
متن کاملInvertebrate central pattern generator circuits.
There are now a reasonable number of invertebrate central pattern generator (CPG) circuits described in sufficient detail that a mechanistic explanation of how they work is possible. These small circuits represent the best-understood neural circuits with which to investigate how cell-to-cell synaptic connections and individual channel conductances combine to generate rhythmic and patterned outp...
متن کاملModeling the gastric mill central pattern generator of the lobster with a relaxation-oscillator network.
1. The gastric mill central pattern generator (CPG) controls the chewing movements of teeth in the gastric mill of the lobster. This CPG has been extensively studied, but the precise mechanism underlying pattern generation is not well understood. The goal of this research was to develop a simplified model that captures the principle, biologically significant features of this CPG. We introduce a...
