which typically becomes more pronounced as axons degrade in neurodegenerative diseases. Together, Watanabe and Knott began studying the relationship between form and function in unmyelinated axons, ...

Are all axons covered with myelin? No; they can be either myelinated or unmyelinated. Myelinated axons are ensheathed along their entire length. The axon caliber (diameter) in mammalian PNS ranges ...

Electron microscopy of the hind paw dermal–epidermal junction reveals bundles of unmyelinated axons, which are either primary afferent fibers or sympathetic efferents. Because previous work ...

The arrows point to the marked thickening of capillaries walls in the endoneurium. Abnormalities of unmyelinated fibers in severe length-dependent diabetic polyneuropathy. Electron micrograph of a ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse ...
