Abstract:
Resonance tuning in a model of rhythmic movement is compared when the central pattern generator (CPG) consists of two endogenously bursting or two tonically spiking neurons that are connected with reciprocally inhibitory synapses. The CPG receives inhibitory and/or excitatory position feedback from a linear, one-degree-of-freedom mechanical subsystem. As with previously published results [5, 15], resonance tuning is limited to frequencies that are greater than the intrinsic CPG frequency with endogenously bursting neurons. In contrast, with tonically spiking neurons, the resonance tuning range is expanded to frequencies that are below the intrinsic CPG frequency.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...

Negative feedback loops
Most signaling systems have negative feedback loops that can perform different functions such as output limiter, and adaptation.
Output limiter
Upon receiving an input signal, the cellular response rapidly increases until a threshold is reached. Beyond this threshold, a negative feedback loop...
