axon

axons distal to the injury will degenerate.

For example, the axon being ruptured and the axoplasmic transport being stopped will give rise to hypoalgesia.

TIDA neurons were unaffected while NSDA neurons suffered loss of cell bodies and axon terminal DA.

Biocytin stainings indicated that the recorded neurons located in MVN and the axons’ terminals went into the area of the medial E group neurons.

A pseudo-cartridge of sex-specific ommatidium projects into basement membrane of ventral compound eye in a female Atylotus miser Szilady. 1～6, axons of peripheral retinula cells;

At deeper level where the axons of all other cells have just appeared in succession, the large rhabdomere of the basal cell still can be seen.

You will also notice they have long axons along which the electrical message can travel.

Myelin is a fatty sheath that insulates an axon, preventing electrical currents from leaking out.

As you repeat an action, a fatty tissue called myelin covers the axons of your neurons.

The signal-carrying arm of these cells, called an axon, can be up to a meter long!

Your brain sends action potentials down your spinal cord and preganglionic neuronal axons.

Neurons propagate slowly in axons, 100 meters per second, tops.

Can we grow axons and neurons down these channels?

The demyelination happens in patches along the length of the axon, so it's called segmental demyelination.

Meanwhile, axons with larger diameters offer less internal resistance.

But speeds can be boosted with myelination and increased axon diameter.
