Synaptic modulation of bursting properties. (A) Pharmacological removal of synaptic inhibition can alter the propensity of a respiratory neuron to switch from a tonic spiking into a bursting mode. (B) In a simultaneous intracellular and population recording, a burst of action potentials can be triggered in the cell by a brief positive current injection (rd) or by synaptic input occurring during the population burst.
