Power-law for axon diameters at branch point
BACKGROUND: Axon calibers vary widely among different animals, neuron classes, and even within the same neuron. What determines the diameter of axon branches? RESULTS: We pursue the hypothesis that the axon caliber has evolved to minimize signal propagation delays, while keeping arbor volume to a mi...
