In this study, we investigate complex dynamical behaviors of a delayed HCO (half-center oscillator) neural system consisted of two inertial neurons. The neural system proposes two types of periodic orbits with in-phase and anti-phase spatiotemporal patterns that arise via the Hopf bifurcation of the trivial equilibrium and the homoclinic orbit (Homo) bifurcation of the nontrivial equilibrium. With increasing time delay, the periodic orbit translates into a quasi-periodic orbit and enters chaos attractor by employing the quasi-periodic orbit bifurcation. Further, the chaos attractor breaks and bifurcates into a pair of symmetry multiple-periodic orbits, which evolves into a pair of symmetry chaos attractors by the period-doubling bifurcation. The delayed HCO neural system presents multiple coexistence employing two classical bifurcation routes to chaos, i.e. the quasi-periodic orbit and period-doubling bifurcations. What is interesting is that the delayed HCO neural system proposes seven similar sequences (maybe up to infinity) of the bifurcation routes to chaos with the increasing of the variable bifurcation parameter τ. In the presented paper, we just exhibit 14 attractors’ coexistence induced by the multiple bifurcation routes, which includes periodic orbits, quasi-periodic orbits, chaos attractors, and multiple-periodic orbits.
