Nerve impulse propagation, the process by which neurons communicate signals throughout the body, is a fascinating and complex ...

The main difference lies in how the action potential travels along the axon. In continuous conduction (unmyelinated axons), the action potential sequentially depolarizes each segment of the axon ...

Neurotrophins have been proposed to participate in activity-dependent modifications of neuronal connectivity and synaptic efficacy. Preferential strengthening of active inputs requires restriction of ...
