Neural network model of an amphibian ventilatory central pattern generator.

Journal of computational neuroscience
The neuronal multiunit model presented here is a formal model of the central pattern generator (CPG) of the amphibian ventilatory neural network, inspired by experimental data from Pelophylax ridibundus. The kernel of the CPG consists of three pacema...

A network model comprising 4 segmental, interconnected ganglia, and its application to simulate multi-legged locomotion in crustaceans.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Inter-segmental coordination is crucial for the locomotion of animals. Arthropods show high variability of leg numbers, from 6 in insects up to 750 legs in millipedes. Despite this fact, the anatomical and functional organization of their nervous sys...
