The gaps in the sheath along the axon are call the node of ranvier.

As the action potential reaches a node of Ranvier, it depolarises the cell membrane.

Bral1 interacts with versican and brevican in nodes of Ranvier.

Strongest signals are recorded from nodes of ranvier.

Therefore, at the point of the node of Ranvier, the axon is reduced in diameter.

There are, nevertheless, gaps in the insulation (nodes of ranvier), which boost the signal strength.

The action potential travels from one location in the cell to another, but ion flow across the membrane occurs only at the nodes of Ranvier.

Between Schwann cells are gaps (nodes of Ranvier) where the axon is exposed.

With saltatory conduction, the voltage gated channels are concentrated in the nodes of Ranvier.

However, the current is carried by the cytoplasm, which is sufficient to depolarize the first or second subsequent node of Ranvier.

Neurofascin is also reported to be one of the first proteins to accumulate at newly forming nodes of Ranvier.

(How the regeneration takes place is uncertain, though there is a strong suspicion that the nodes of Ranvier are involved.)

Regularly spaced unmyelinated patches, called the nodes of Ranvier, generate action potentials to boost the signal.

Later, several autopsies confirmed the focus of the immune attack was at the motor axolemma especially around the nodes of Ranvier.

Fibrous: found in white matter and have long thin unbranched processes whose end-feet envelop nodes of Ranvier.

In this same investigation, it was shown that Nav1.6 and Nav1.2 colocalize at many nodes of Ranvier during early myelination.

The band's name refers to the Myelin sheath gaps which are also called Nodes of Ranvier.

Beta 3 and beta 1 bind to neurofascin at Nodes of Ranvier in developing neurons.

Soon afterwards, he discovered gaps in sheaths of nerve fibers, which were later called the Nodes of Ranvier.

This also led to the suggestion that early clusters of Nav1.2 and Nav1.6 channels are destined to later become nodes of Ranvier.

In mid-December 2007, news sources confirmed that Nodes of Ranvier would perform its last show in the same month and then break up.

Also, since the ionic currents are confined to the nodes of Ranvier, far fewer ions "leak" across the membrane, saving metabolic energy.

An internodal segment (or internode) is the portion of a nerve fiber between two Nodes of Ranvier.

As axons are left bare, without myelin, their conduction velocity goes down due to a lack in increased potential between the Nodes of Ranvier.

This junction, adjacent of the Schwann cells, constitutes the region designated as the node of Ranvier.
