Increasing Internodal Distance in Myelinated Nerves Accelerates Nerve Conduction to a Flat Maximum

Predictions that conduction velocities are sensitive to the distance between nodes of Ranvier in myelinated axons have implications for nervous system function during growth and repair [1–3]. Internodal lengths defined by Schwann cells in hindlimb nerves, for example, can undergo a 4-fold increase d...
