myelinated axon

However, myelinated axon segments were not affected and remained normal.

In some cases, patients have shown mental retardation and loss of myelinated axons.

White matter is composed mainly of myelinated axons, and takes its color from the myelin.

Myelinated axons are white in appearance, hence the "white matter" of the brain.

Men have slightly more white matter than females both in volume and in length of myelinated axons.

In myelinated axons, Schwann cells form the myelin sheath (see above).

White matter consists mostly of myelinated axons:.

Some neurons such as photoreceptor cells, for example, do not have myelinated axons that conduct action potentials.

Saltatory conduction is defined as an action potential moving in discrete jumps down a myelinated axon.

Unmyelinated fibers and myelinated axons of the mammalian central nervous system do not regenerate.

This protein is localized at the juxtaparanodes of myelinated axons and associated with potassium channels.

The Ib afferent axon is a large diameter, myelinated axon.

As with all white matter tracts, the DLF consists of myelinated axons carrying information between neurons.

The striato-pallidonigral bundle is a very dense bundle of sparsely myelinated axons, giving a whitish appearance.

Grey matter contains neural cell bodies, in contrast to white matter, which does not and mostly contains myelinated axon tracts.

Myelinated axons were present within the grafts and basal laminae were formed within the myelin.

Thus, not all neurons correspond to the stereotypical motor neuron with dendrites and myelinated axons that conduct action potentials.

There are two types of axons occurring in the peripheral system and the central nervous system: unmyelinated and myelinated axons.

In white matter, they are found along unmyelinated axons as well as myelinated axons, engulfing nodes of Ranvier.

It consists of the grey matter, or neuronal cell bodies and unmyelinated fibers, surrounding the deeper white matter (myelinated axons) in the cerebrum.

Birman Cat distal polyneuropathy - This is an inherited disorder caused by decreased numbers of myelinated axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems.

Saltatory conduction in myelinated axons requires organization of the nodes of Ranvier, whereas voltage-gated sodium channels are highly populated.

Researchers at the Department of Physiology, University College London studied the effects of compression upon conduction in myelinated axons.

Lamina I or SZ, the stratum zonale, is a thin layer consisting of small myelinated axons together with marginal and horizontal cells.

The globus pallidus is traversed by the numerous myelinated axons of the striato-pallidonigral bundle that give it the pale appearance from which it is named.
