Self-organization of an oscillatory neural system.
Hebbian dynamics is used to derive the differential equations for the synaptic strengths in the neural circuitry of the locomotive oscillator. Initially, neural connection are random. Under a specified arborization hypothesis relating to the density of neural connections, the differential equations are shown to model the self-organization and the stability of the oscillator.
