Using newly developed markers, the scientists were able to visualize axons, myelin, and nodes of Ranvier in vivo. A version of this image is used in the current article in Current Biology, DOI: ...

Researchers have achieved patch-clamp studies of an elusive part of mammalian myelinated nerves called the Nodes of Ranvier. At the nodes, they found unexpected potassium channels that give the ...

The response of the node of Ranvier can be prolonged up to 5 to 6 seconds by addition to the medium of minute amounts of certain metal ions. This prolongation involves a change from a triangular to a ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have discovered a new way the brain processes and communicates information that could lead to improved learning in those suffering ...

The myelin sheath is one of the best studied mammalian membranes, not least because of its vital function, and also owing to its abundance and the ease of isolation of enriched myelin fractions. This ...
