Obtaining a solution of a given SDE is essential in neuroscience, especially, in modeling transmission of nerve impulses between neurons through myelin substance.This paper analyzes a particular scalar differential equation (SDE). The current scalar model involves two categories of differential equations-advanced and delayed-based on the domain of the independent variable. The results are consistent with existing literature as the advance/delay parameter approaches unity. Theoretical and graphical analyses of the solution's properties are presented. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to analyze this form of SDE.
