Distribution of Ranvier nodes along myelinated axons is a critical determinant of conduction velocity, significantly influencing spike arrival timing and hence neural circuit function. The patterns of ...

MS occurs when the immune system abnormally attacks the insulation and support around nerve cells (myelin sheath) in the central nervous system (brain, spinal cord and optic nerves), causing ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

Brain scans of marathon participants show that when cerebral glucose is dangerously low, certain neurons might start consuming myelin. This fatty sheath surrounds the ... It seems that some brain ...

Scientists at Spain's University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) have identified a link between marathon running and a sharp reduction in the protective myelin that surrounds nerve fibers ...

Myelin is a fatty substance that surrounds and insulates nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, forming a sheath that facilitates the rapid transmission of electrical signals between neurons.
