These axons transmit signals to the target muscle in the form of electric impulses called action potentials ... 1.2 μm in diameter), conduction velocity along the axon is 0.5–2.0 m/s (as ...

which in turn regulates the conduction velocity of action potentials. If this mechanism is impaired, it may eventually lead to axonal death. "It will be interesting in the future to look at the ...

Forget the traditional tubular shape—researchers are investigating a pearl-on-a-string formation for axons, unlocking new insights into neural signaling in health and disease. Laura is an assistant ...
