Abstract :
In this paper, we present a closed-loop model of the respiratory control system. In contrast to previously reported models, the central pattern generator is modeled an a detailed neuronal level. Moreover, we study the neural controller in conjunction with the periphery it controls, an approach that has not been taken with previous network models of respiratory rhythm generation. Due to the interactions between the controller and the periphery it is possible to gain a better understanding of the properties of the neural control system and to guide the selection of neural network models that are physiologically plausible
