Hierarchical emergence of network bursting in a four-cell central pattern generator model

How can a neural circuit rhythmically burst when none of its constituent neurons can endogenously do so? We address this question through a bottom-up reconstruction of a 4-cell neural circuit modeled after the swim central pattern generator (CPG) of the sea slug \textit{Dendronotus iris}. We first map the intrinsic reg...
