Stable modes of activity in pacemaker neurons with "open-loop" synaptic input [by] Theodore H. Bullock [et al.]

Theodore Holmes Bullock

ResearchPublished 1964

The consequences of inhibitory or excitary interactions between pacemaker neurons were predicted mathematically and through digital-comuter simulations, and were then confirmed expermentally in abdominal ganglial of Aplysia californica and in stretch receptors of Procambarus clarkii Characteristic self-stabilizing discharge patterns occur under conditions that do not involve feedback. Increased arrival rates of inhibitory or excitatory input can cause a "paradoxical" increase or decrease in firing rate.
