✦ Synopsis

The FitzHugl-Nagurno equations for action potential propagation along nerve axons and the corresponding ordinary differential equations for travelling waves are solved numerically. Above a critical value, a constant bias current can drive a wave-front solution. At the critical value, a global bifurcation occurs. As a result, the wave front switches into a pulse.
