This paper investigates travelling wave solutions of the FitzHugh-Nagumo equation from the viewpoint of fast-slow dynamical systems. These solutions are homoclinic orbits of a three dimensional vector. field depending upon system parameters of the FitzHugh-Nagumo model and the wave speed. Champneys et al. [SIAM J. Appl. Dyn. Syst., 6 (2007), pp. 663-693] observed sharp turns in the curves of homoclinic bifurcations in a two dimensional parameter space. This paper demonstrates numerically that these turns are located close to the intersection of two curves in the parameter space that locate nontransversal intersections of invariant manifolds of the three dimensional vector field. The relevant invariant manifolds in phase space are visualized. A geometrical model inspired by the numerical studies displays the sharp turns of the homoclinic bifurcations curves and yields quantitative predictions about multipulse and homoclinic orbits and periodic orbits that have not been resolved in the FitzHugh-Nagumo model. Further observations address the existence of canard explosions and mixed-mode oscillations.
