Rhythmogenesis is the process that develops the capacity for rhythmic activity in a non-rhythmic system. Theoretical works suggested a wide array of possible mechanisms for rhythmogenesis ranging from the regulation of cellular properties to top-down control. Here we discuss theories of rhythmogenesis with an emphasis on spike timing-dependent plasticity. We argue that even though the specifics of different mechanisms vary greatly they all share certain key features. Namely, rhythmogenesis can be described as a flow on the phase diagram leading the system into a rhythmic region and stabilizing it on a specific manifold characterized by the desired rhythmic activity. Functionality is retained despite biological diversity by forcing the system into a specific manifold, but allowing fluctuations within that manifold.

Article Synopsis
- * The authors transform a complex network of integrate-and-fire neurons into a simplified model (Kuramoto-Sakaguchi), allowing them to analyze how synaptic characteristics influence neuron firing patterns.
- * They identify conditions for synchronous and partially synchronous firing based on synaptic activation rates and delays, and their findings suggest potential for further research on rhythm generation in adaptive neural networks.
Interdependence of cellular and network properties in respiratory rhythm generation.

How breathing is generated by the preBötzinger complex (preBötC) remains divided between two ideological frameworks, and a persistent sodium current (I) lies at the heart of this debate. Although I is widely expressed, the pacemaker hypothesis considers it essential because it endows a small subset of neurons with intrinsic bursting or "pacemaker" activity. In contrast, burstlet theory considers I dispensable because rhythm emerges from "preinspiratory" spiking activity driven by feed-forward network interactions.

Recently, this theory has been challenged. Here, we investigate a special case in which alpha does not correlate with temporal resolution: when stimuli are presented amidst strong visual drive.
