[A compartmental approach in modeling a neuronal network. Role of inhibitory and excitatory processes]

The conception and main principles of the compartmental approach to the modeling of neuronal networks are presented. Excitatory and inhibitory ties are described, and reducible and nonreducible neuronal networks are considered. The periodical solution in models of neuronal networks is the model of normal rhythmic (e.g., respiratory) activity. The role of external (chemoreceptor drives) is discussed. The biological interpretation of the results of modeling is given. The observed biological phenomena are considered.
