These axons transmit signals to the target muscle in the form of electric impulses called action potentials. However, the axons alone are not enough to produce rapid conduction of the electric ...

Neurons from the rat hippocampus use three times less energy to propagate an action potential down an axon than was previously believed, according to a new study published in this week's issue of ...

Axon currently trades at $547.98 and has been a dream stock for shareholders. It’s returned 689% since March 2020, blowing past the S&P 500’s 116% gain. The company has also beaten the index ...

Illustration of myelinated nerve fiber and saltatory conduction of action potential. An example of PNS myelinated nerve fiber is shown. (B) Illustration of transverse section of myelinated axon at ...

For more than 70 years, scientists have depicted axons as ultrathin cables, varying in diameter along their length but roughly cylindrical in shape. Electrical signals (action potentials ...
