CPGs

[Jim Bower]

 At the just completed Snowbird meeting on neural networks, several
 participants asked for more information on biological central pattern
 generators (CPGs).  I recommend a book titled "Model Neural Networks and
 Behavior" edited by Al Selverston published by Plenum Press in 1985.  For
 those that don't know, CPGs as a class probably represent the most completely 
 described real biological networks in terms of their anatomy, physiology,
 and, importantly, the behavior they control.  As such they are well worth
 knowing about.
