The generation and shaping of the respiratory motor pattern are performed in the lower
brainstem and involve neuronal interactions within the medulla and between the medulla
and pons. A computational model of the ponto-medullary respiratory network has been
developed by incorporating existing experimental data on the medullary neural circuits and
possible interactions between the medulla and pons. The model reproduces a number of
experimental findings concerning alterations of the respiratory pattern following various …
