"The pre-Botzinger complex (pBC) is a vital subcircuit of the
respiratory central pattern generator. Although the existence of
neurons with pacemaker-like bursting properties in this network is not
questioned, their role in network rhythmogenesis is
unresolved.
...
We modeled the parameter
variability of experimental data from pBC bursting pacemaker and
nonpacemaker neurons using a modified version of our previously
developed pBC neuron and network models.
