This work describes a dynamical model of the neural circuitry and muscles for the pharynx of C. elegans. Our goal is to build a model of the pharyngeal neural network dynamics with respect to the generation of signals (action potentials) for controlling the feeding. We also include in the model the processing of feedback from the sensory endings in the muscles. A dynamical system of two variables is used to mimic the myogenic rhythm of the pharyngeal muscles.
