The fiber that conducts the nerve impulse is a tubelike structure. Its operation can be studied by squeezing the contents out of the giant axon of the squid and replacing them with various solutions ...

Caption This image of a neuron illustrates the movement of a nerve impulse along an axon -- the long, slender extension of the nerve cell body. Ohio State University researchers have discovered ...

Myelin Promotes Rapid Impulse Transmission Along Axons How ... In contrast, among the myelinated nerve fibers, axons are mostly covered by myelin sheaths, and transmembrane currents can only ...

In a provocative new study, scientists challenge a fundamental tenet in neuroscience about the shape of axons -- the long, thin filaments radiating from nerve cells that transmit electrical signal ...

A bundle of neurones is called a nerve. There are three main types of neurone: sensory, motor and relay. They have some features in common: A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty ...

Surrounding the individual axons is the collagenous tissue layer known as the endoneurium. This layer resists longitudinal stress and contributes to the formation of the endoneurial tube.

The first pathological descriptions of the disease 150 years ago already showed that demyelinated axons could degenerate ... the book covers the physiology of nerve impulse propagation before ...

Animal models as well as human cells have shown that cnicin significantly accelerates axon (nerve fibers) growth. The study ...
