Formation of Autapse Connected to Neuron and Its Biological Function

Figure 4

Wave propagation along axon when autapse is developed from node , for time delays (a) , (b) , and (c) : 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.
