c, Plot of the amplitude of somatic and axonal action potentials after normalization to the value obtained at a membrane potential of -70 mV (soma 91.2 ± 6.3 mV; axon 71.0 ± 14.4 mV) versus ...

Myelin is the fatty membranes of cells called Oligodendroglia (in the CNS) and Schwann Cells (in the PNS) that wraps around the axon and acts as an insulator, preventing the dissipation of the ...

Their findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, contrast with the classical view of tubular axons. 2 The researchers propose that this shape is a ubiquitous feature in all unmyelinated axons; ...

The other, an 'anode' injects current and hyperpolarizes the axon membrane potential (towards more negative potentials) and can arrest AP propagation. Because current flows in all directions, pathways ...

THE Hodgkin–Huxley1 (HH) formulation is an analytical description of a squid axon membrane from which nearly all of the classical physiological properties of an axon can be computed, but few ...
