在众多实验和理论研究中已经发现自突触通过自反馈电流调节神经元电活动和网络时空行为来实现生理功能. 本文通过理论研究, 发现在一些合适的时滞下, 抑制性自反馈电流能引起放电频率增加, 这是不同于传统结果—抑制性作用引起频率降低的新发现. 进一步, 对于没有自反馈的神经元, 发现在作用相位合适的抑制性脉冲电流的作用下, 放电的相位会提前, 导致放电频率增加, 这就表现出对应Hopf分岔的II型相位响应曲线的特征. 引起放电频率增加的抑制性脉冲刺激的相位与自反馈的时滞相对应, 这也就给出了自反馈能够引起放电频率增强的原因. 最后, 发现抑制性自反馈的时滞较长或耦合强度较大时, 噪声诱发的神经元放电峰-峰间期的变异系数较小, 也就是放电精确性提高, 与实验发现的慢抑制性自突触诱发放电精确性增加的结果相一致. 研究结果揭示了负反馈能增强系统响应这一新现象和相应的非线性动力学机制, 提供了调控神经电活动的新手段, 有助于认识现实神经系统的自突触的潜在功能.It has been found in many experimental and theoretical studies that autapse regulates the electrical activities of single neurons and the spatiotemporal behaviors of neuronal networks through feedback or coupling currents to achieve physiological functions. In the present paper, the effect of inhibitory self-feedback on spiking patterns near Hopf bifurcation point is studied in the deterministic Morris-Lecar model and the stochastic Morris-Lecar model, and the dynamical mechanism is acquired with the phase response curve (PRC) of spiking to the inhibitory square pulse current stimulation. The inhibitory self-feedback current with a suitable time-delay can induce the spiking frequency to increase, which is different from the traditional viewpoint that the inhibitory stimulations often induce the firing frequency to decrease. For the remained time delays, spiking frequency decreases. Furthermore, the changes of spiking frequency, induced by the inhibitory self-feedback current, can be well explained with the dynamical responses of the spiking pattern of a single neuron without autapse to an inhibitory square pulse current stimulation. For the spiking pattern of a neuron without autapse, when an inhibitory square pulse stimulation current resembling to the inhibitory self-feedback current is applied at some suitable phases after an action potential/spike, the phase of the action potential/spike following the square pulse current advances, which leads the interspike intervals (ISIs) to decrease and firing frequency to increase. For the remained stimulation phases of the inhibitory pulse current, the response phase of the following action potential/spike delays. Therefore, the PRC of the action potential/spike shows the characteristics of type-II excitability corresponding to Hopf bifurcation. The stimulation phase of the inhibitory square pulse current that can induce the spiking frequency of single neurons to increase corresponds to the time delay of inhibitory self-feedback that can enhance firing frequency, which shows that the type-II PRC is the cause that the inhibitory self-feedback can induce the spiking frequency to increase. Finally, when noise is introduced into the ML model with inhibitory self-feedback, the coefficient of variation (CV) of the ISIs is smaller for the longer time delay of the self-feedback or the stronger coupling strength of the autapse, that is, the spike-timing precision is improved for the smaller CV of ISIs. Such a result is consistent with the experimental result that slow inhibitory autapse can enhance spike-timing precision. The results present a novel phenomenon that negative self-feedback can enhance the response of the system and the corresponding nonlinear dynamical mechanism, i.e. the PRC, provide a new method of regulating the neural electrical activities, and are helpful in understanding the potential function of inhibitory autapse.
