Abstract
We examined a signal processing on Hodgkin-Huxley model repeats under ephaptic coupling resembling the early stage of axon bundles in auditory nerve. We show impulse conduction synchronizations in axons partially myelinated by an oligodendrocyte with propagation time difference has a potential to select functionally maturating axons. We discuss the possible feedback process for maintaining parallel-aligned axons corresponding to the signal flow.
