Respiratory central pattern generator network in mammalian brainstem (Rubin et al. 2009)
Accession: 125529
This model is a reduced version of a spatially organized respiratory central pattern generation network consisting of four neuronal populations (pre-I, early-I, post-I, and aug-E). In this reduction, each population is represented by a single neuron, in an activity-based framework (which includes the persistent sodium current for the pre-I population). The model includes three sources of external drive and can produce several experimentally observed rhythms.

This models runs under XPP available from 
http://www.math.pitt.edu/~bard/xpp/xpp.html

After downloading and extracting the archive the program can be
started for example under linux by cd'ing to the new folder and typing
xppaut rubinetal_resp_cpg.ode

Click on Initialconds -> Go

When complete click on Window/zoom -> (W)indow and then change "X Hi"
to 10000 and click OK.  Then you should see a graph like:

which is similar to the first trace in Figure 2A from the paper.
