which typically becomes more pronounced as axons degrade in neurodegenerative diseases. Together, Watanabe and Knott began studying the relationship between form and function in unmyelinated axons, ...

Are all axons covered with myelin? No; they can be either myelinated or unmyelinated. Myelinated axons are ensheathed along their entire length. The axon caliber (diameter) in mammalian PNS ranges ...

In the case of unmyelinated axons, the nerve impulse, or action potential, moves along the axon continuously. By contrast, in myelinated nerve fiber, currents can only occur where the axonal ...

(The observations were made in unmyelinated axons in a mouse nervous system.) "The reason people have missed this axon morphology before, and that we were able to observe this, is because we are ...

but you lose the kind of broader adaptive flexibility that you normally would have with mostly unmyelinated axons and dendrites. People with PTSD become almost like a one-note musician -- they ...
