DESCRIPTION:Neuronal oscillators\, especially the central pattern generato
 r circuits that control rhythmic behaviors such as breathing\, need to fun
 ction reliably throughout life despite ongoing turnover of their molecular
  components and other perturbations. How is this stability achieved? I wil
 l discuss recent results that show how parameter non-uniqueness\, membrane
  conductance co-regulation\, and activity-dependent homeostatic regulation
  through negative feedback loops act together to ensure reliable neuronal 
 network function. My presentation will highlight how fruitful interactions
  between electrophysiology experiments and numerical modeling can advance 
 our understanding of complex system dynamics at the intersection of physic
 s and biology.
