Abstract: Abstract We simulate an oscillatory propagating waves in the olfactory center (procerebrum:PC) of a terrestrial slug Limax marginatus with an array of nonlinear oscillators. We search the conditions where the entrained waves are constantly propagating from one terminal of the array to the other one. As regards the interaction of the oscillators, the inputs which are proportional to the differences between amplitudes of oscillators next to each other are needed for constant propagation. In addition to the condition, the oscillators are necessary to be arranged regularly according to their proper frequencies. We can simulate the PC with an array of nonlinear oscillators in the way which is consistent with the morphological and physiological measurements such as gap junctions or frequency gradient.
