Conduction in Nerve Fibres
Data by E. A. Blair and Erlanger on the voltage-capacity curves and the nerve impulse velocities of each of several fibres in the same nerve trunk are related to Rashevsky's equation for the velocity of transmission in nerve. The results lend support to Rashevsky's analysis. Other empirical relations between the velocity and the parameters of the excitation equations indicate the correctness of...
متن کاملConduction in segmentally demyelinated mammalian central axons.
The prominent symptoms associated with central demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) are primarily caused by conduction deficits in affected axons. The symptoms may go into remission, but the mechanisms underlying remissions are uncertain. One factor that could be important is the restoration of conduction to affected axons, but it is not known whether demyelinated central axon...
متن کاملInternodal length of sural nerve fibres in chronic occlusive vascular disease.
Changes with age in internodal length in the sural nerve in man have been discussed by Lascelles and Thomas (1966). They reported their findings in the sural nerve obtained at necropsy in 14 subjects of ages ranging from 18 to 80 years. In the 10 subjects under the age of 65 years the correlation between internodal length and the maximum diameter of single nerve fibres was found to be close, es...
متن کاملConduction velocity along human nociceptive reflex afferent nerve fibres.
The conduction velocity along the nociceptive flexor reflex afferent nerve fibres was investigated in human subjects. The posterior tibal nerve was stimulated at two sites by single painful electrical shocks of 1.0 ms duration and with adequate intensity and the reflex EMG discharges were recorded from the short head of the biceps femoris muscle. The fastest reflex conduction velocity along the...
متن کاملIncreasing Internodal Distance in Myelinated Nerves Accelerates Nerve Conduction to a Flat Maximum
Predictions that conduction velocities are sensitive to the distance between nodes of Ranvier in myelinated axons have implications for nervous system function during growth and repair. Internodal lengths defined by Schwann cells in hindlimb nerves, for example, can undergo a 4-fold increase during mouse development, and regenerated nerves have internodes that are uniformly short. Nevertheless,...
