Autaptic circuits for neural vehicles
Battle, Steve
Authors
Abstract
This paper develops models for single recurrent neural circuits, known as autapses, where the axon of a neuron forms synapses onto its own dendrites. Once thought to be curiosities or artefacts of growing cells in vitro, autapses play a key role in the operation of Central Pattern Generators and the cortex where they may function as a simple short-term memory. Biologically plausible, idealized models of the autapse are able to produce arrhythmic, sustained behaviours in ‘neural vehicles’. Detailed models are developed to show how excitatory autapses may support both bistability and monostability.
