1 Motor Neurons A motor neuron’s cell body is also often ... As the voltage increases along the axon, additional sodium channels open, propagating the signal. The myelin sheath made of protein and ...
The length of the myelin sheath along the axon is approximately 1 mm in the ... leaving axons and even the entire neuron vulnerable to degeneration. Thus, patients with demyelinating diseases ...
Between the axon of a transmitting neuron and the dendrite of a receiving neuron is a gap called the synapse—the site at which signals are passed between the brain cells. The nervous system ...
In this Review, I describe the latest findings in cranial motor neuron patterning and axon guidance, focusing mainly on mouse and chick studies (as zebrafish studies have been reviewed elsewhere ...

A new study from Shanghai University uses mathematical models to suggest that certain fatty structures (which sheath the ...
Damage to myelin around nerves is called demyelination. Demyelination can cause issues like: The axon sends messages from one neuron to the next and connects neurons to other cells, such as muscle ...
A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath. They are long so they can carry messages up and down the body. Tiny branches (dendrons) which branch further as dendrites at each ...
