Figure 1. Development of Ranvier nodes progressed in a similar time course along NM axons after hearing onset. (A) Axonal projection of NM neurons in the chicken brainstem. Main trunk of the axon ...

The physiological significance of the node of Ranvier is now well known. The histological delineation of its length, however, still remains uncertain. Should it be identified as the gap between the ...

In neuroscience, it is of interest to consider all possible modes of information transfer between neurons in order to fully understand processing in the brain. It has been suggested that photonic ...

Ranvier is a MUD game engine whose goal is to be a simple but powerful way to build whatever MUD you want with special care given to extensibility. The core code strives to be completely unopinionated ...

The presence of both the myelin sheath and sodium channels at the nodes of Ranvier means the action potential “jumps” from one node to the next, allowing the impulse to travel along the axon ...

Since 1939, the Nodes of Ranvier have been known to act like relay stations placed about 1 millimeter apart along the myelinated nerve to conduct mammalian nerve impulses at rates of 50 to 200 meters ...

Just as one would begin when remodeling a garment, these cells assist in cutting the “seams.” The myelin sheath is attached to the axon by a spiral junction flanking the node of Ranvier.
