Formation of Autapse Connected to Neuron and Its Biological Function

Figure 2

Wave propagation along axon when autapse is developed from node : external forcing is applied on node ; for time delays (a) , (b) , (c) , and (d) , the feedback gain in electric autapse is set as and external forcing is imposed on node . The injured area generated by decreasing the conductance of sodium from  mS/cm² to  mS/cm²: the axon is divided into 201 nodes and the injured area is marked from nodes to . The snapshots are illustrated in color scale.
