SEVERAL investigations of the effects of temperature on the squid giant axon have been made, but as yet the changes of the conduction velocity associated with altering the temperature have not bee ...

Based on these results, Watanabe set out to test whether this form dictated the function of the axon, focusing on the interaction between pearling and sodium channel placement, which is critical for ...

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 ...
