Conductance relationships across compartments associated with bursting output in a model of a motor neuron in the crustacean cardiac ganglion
Abstract
Our results support the hypotheses that, despite being prevalent in biological neurons, correlated membrane conductances are not a necessary feature of synaptically driven bursting in CPG motor neurons and averaging conductances across motor neurons in a network can maintain biologically realistic output. Our results may be most relevant to similar networks, where "forced bursting" is a result of highly interconnected neurons with strong synaptic input organizing the output.
