Mechanisms of frequency and pattern control in the neural rhythm generators
Abstract
The locomotive motion in animals is produced in some central neural units, and basically no sensory signal from peripheral receptors is necessary to induce it. The rhythm generators do not only produce rhythms but also alter their frequencies and patterns. This paper presents some mathematical models of the neural rhythm generators and discusses various aspects of the frequency and pattern control in them.
