Modeling the ponto-medullary respiratory network
The generation and shaping of the respiratory motor pattern are performed in the lower
brainstem and involve neuronal interactions within the medulla and between the medulla
and pons. A computational model of the ponto-medullary respiratory network has been
developed by incorporating existing experimental data on the medullary neural circuits and
possible interactions between the medulla and pons. The model reproduces a number of
experimental findings concerning alterations of the respiratory pattern following various …
