A role for compromise: synaptic inhibition and electrical coupling interact to control phasing in the leech heartbeat CPG

How can flexible phasing be generated by a central pattern generator (CPG)? To address this question, we have extended an existing model of the leech heartbeat CPG’s timing network to construct a model of the CPG core and explore how appropriate phasing is set up by parameter variation....
