Membrane and cellular properties in oscillating networks: implications for respiration

Because of a number of major advances in the past one to two decades, there is little doubt that the inherent cellular and membrane properties of neurons in an oscillating network play an important role in shaping the output of that network. There are a number of such examples in vertebrate and invertebrate systems. In this review, we present some of the newer methods that have been used in the identification of membrane properties and detail some cellular studies performed in both vertebrate (locomotion and sleep/waking rhythms) and invertebrate network systems (escape swimming in Tritonia diomedia and pyloric rhythm in Panulirus interruptus). Studies examining the cellular or membrane properties of respiratory neurons have been scarce until recently. The importance of these properties in dictating respiratory rhythm generation and output in the mature and immature animal is not yet known; however, we put this issue in perspective by building a parallel between mammalian respiration and other vertebrate networks that have been better investigated and characterized.
