Functions of excitable signaling networks. The activity of an excitable signaling network, represented by a prototypical activator (A)-inhibitor (I) system, can be tuned by various types of external stimuli, which can enter the network through different pathways to modulate the frequency of the waves or pulses of activation. Excitability plays crucial roles in processes at both the cellular and organismal levels.
