Review text

We start working in this field, simulating the behavior of neural networks at Perkell's laboratory at Stanford, where we developed a model of a set of four inhibitory neurons from the stomatogastric ganglion of the spiny lobster. This model takes into account the established properties of each neuron and its synapses. Working in this project, we realized that many sensible networks reproduced the experimental results. Furthermore, this four neurons fired in bursts that phase-lock with different phases relationships, for parameters varying in a wide range. This result suggests that a given general network may produce only a limited set of patterns of firing. If that is the case, a theoretical approach may produce general results. At that time, there were not attempts to study theoretically the dynamics of realistic neural networks. Nevertheless, there were some preliminary results in a close related system: the cardiac pacemaker. The behavior of both, the sinusal node and a network of identical excitatory neurons, coupled to each other, is exactly the same. We summarize our main results (including some unpublished ones), describing the behavior of networks composed by two pacemaker neurons (either excitatory or inhibitory) and three or more inhibitory neurons.
