Stationary regimes of the respiratory neuron networks and their identification

Mathematical modelling of rhythm generation in the respiratory neuron network (RNN) located in medulla oblongata is a slowly developing research area. There are some special models which take into account the configuration of connectedness between the neuron pools, chemoreceptor drive and dissipation factor. The compartmental approach is especially suitable to the modelling of the RNN's rhythm generation. The usefulness of the compartmental approach is presented in the case of structural modelling and identification of hierarchical respiratory neuron networks.
