Abstract
In this paper we present a model of autapses which are synapses connecting axons and dendrites of the same neuron and feeding back axonal action potentials to the own dendritic tree. The timely physiological self-inhibitory function they may serve, indicated by the spike-timing dependent plasticity rule, provides a potential negative feedback mechanism to control the dynamical properties of neurons. The model autapse is applied to a neuron with conductance-based minimal model to construct a fast-slow buster. Three types of bursting that the burster exhibits are analyzed geometrically through phase portraits to illustrate the modulation competence of the autapse model on bursting.
