Abstract

Autapses--synapses made by a neuron onto itself--have often been observed anatomically in vivo, but their purpose has remained uncertain. A recent paper describes functional autapses in the cerebral cortex and gives clues to their physiological role.

摘要

自突触——神经元与自身形成的突触——在体内解剖学研究中经常被观察到，但其功能仍不明确。最近的一篇论文描述了大脑皮层中的功能性自突触，并揭示了它们的生理作用。
