Pocket to rostral simulations. Applying rostral inputs during a pocket rhythm may or may not induce a switch to rostral. A pocket rhythm was induced using \(I_{\mathrm {pocket}}=\{i_{\mathit {IP}}=0.17, i_{\mathit {EP}}=0.19, i_{\mathit {ER}}=0.17, i_{\mathit {IR}}=0.19\}\). Inputs were switched at the time indicated by the arrows to one of two different input sets, each of which evoked rostral from rest. Top: \(I_{\mathrm {rostral}}^{1} = \{i_{\mathit {IP}}=0.19, i_{\mathit {EP}}=0.18, i_{\mathit {ER}}=0.19, i_{\mathit {IR}}=0.18\}\) maintains the pocket rhythm, and hence uncovers bistability in the system. Bottom: \(I_{\mathrm {rostral}}^{2}=\{i_{\mathit {IP}}=0.19, i_{\mathit {EP}}=0.17, i_{\mathit {ER}}=0.19, i_{\mathit {IR}}=0.17\}\) leads to switching behavior as seen in experiments [31]
