Abstract: We study the boundaries of existence of traveling waves and stationary spatial structures in an active medium model by varying the control parameters. The medium is represented by a ring of diffusively coupled FitzHugh–Nagumo neurons, which, when uncoupled, can demonstrate excitable, self-sustained oscillatory or bistable dynamics depending on control parameter values. The dynamical regimes realized in the medium are compared with those ones observed in an individual FitzHugh–Nagumo neuron. Possible bifurcations of traveling waves are analyzed when the dynamics of the medium elements changes. We also explore the influence of the relaxation level of FitzHugh–Nagumo neurons on the medium dynamics.
