These signals reach the grey matter through myelinated axons that ... neurons function and communicate. Because axons in the grey matter are mainly unmyelinated, the greyish hue of the neurons ...

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 ...

Together, Watanabe and Knott began studying the relationship between form and function in unmyelinated axons, which tend to exhibit more irregular shapes compared to the consistent cylindrical ...

The arrows point to the marked thickening of capillaries walls in the endoneurium. Abnormalities of unmyelinated fibers in severe length-dependent diabetic polyneuropathy. Electron micrograph of a ...

When nerve cells are unmyelinated, the axon has a smaller ... Loss of all neurofilaments in the axon results in myelinated axons with slowed conduction velocities. For the last 15 years, the ...

Collectively, the activity of 44 cardiac rhythmic neurons was isolated, including 22 myelinated axons, and 22 unmyelinated axons. “By consideration of each unit's firing pattern with respect to the ...

In the case of LDDP, as in all small-fiber polyneuropathies, the main drawback of NCS is that small myelinated and unmyelinated nerve fibers, which are affected early in the disease course of ...
