Formation of Autapse Connected to Neuron and Its Biological Function

Wave propagation along axon when autapse is developed from node , for gains (a) , (b) , and (c) : the time delay 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: inhibitor chemical autapse is used by setting , the axon is divided into 201 nodes, and the injured area is marked from nodes to . The snapshots are illustrated in color scale.
