The propagation of electrical impulses along axons is highly accelerated by the myelin
sheath and produces saltating or" jumping" action potentials across internodes, from one …

Myelination of axons is a key determinant of fast action potential propagation, axonal health
and circuit function. Previously considered a static structure, it is now clear that myelin is …

In cortical pyramidal neurons the presynaptic terminals controlling transmitter release are
located along unmyelinated axon collaterals, far from the original action potential (AP) …

Neurons rely on axons to transmit information over long distances. Axons cannot transmit
information using graded potentials (ie analog signaling) because of their length, but …

Neurons use action potentials, or spikes, to process information. Different aspects of spiking,
such as its rate or timing, are used to encode information about different features of an input …

The axon initial segment (AIS) converts graded depolarization into all-or-none spikes that
are transmitted by the axon to downstream neurons. Analog-to-digital transduction and …

Combining fluorescence and transmitted light sources for microscopy is an invaluable
method in cellular neuroscience to probe the molecular and cellular mechanisms of cells …

Neurons are the functional unit of the nervous system and are responsible for the
processing, generation and propagation of electrochemical signals. The correct conduction …

Neurons use action potentials, or spikes, to process information. Different aspects of spiking,
such as its rate or timing, are used to encode information about different features of an input …

Retinal visual prostheses aim to restore visual perception in blind patients by electrically
stimulating the remaining retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). However, the closely distributed but …
