summaryBeginner models for specific functions in the neurosystem often have the form of coupled systems with special structure. Examples include quadruped locomotor central pattern generators, the canal-neck projection in the vestibular system, and the auditory receptor cells on the basilar membrane in the cochlea. On the mathematical side Ian Stewart and I have been studying the general question: What does the network architecture of a couple system tell you about bifurcations from a synchronous equilibrium. In this lecture we discuss the special structure of these examples and some of the relevant mathematics.
