Firstly, owing to the autaptic function, the inter-spike interval series of an autapse neuron not only bifurcates, but also presents a quasi-periodic characteristic. Secondly, an irregular mixed-mode oscillation induced by a specific electromagnetic disturbance is analyzed using the coefficient of variation of inter-spike intervals. It is shown that the neuronal discharge activity has certain selectivity to the noise intensity, and the appropriate noise intensity can induce the significant mixed-mode oscillations. Finally, the modulation effects of electromagnetic disturbances on a ring field-coupled neuronal network with autaptic structures are explored quantitatively using the average spiking frequency and the average coefficient of variation. The electromagnetic disturbances can not only destroy the continuous and synchronous discharge state, but also induce the resting neurons to generate the intermittent discharge mode and realize the transmission of neural signals in the neuronal network. The studies can provide some theoretical guidance for applying electromagnetic disturbances to effectively control the propagation of neural signals and treat mental illness.展开更多
