Ionic mechanisms maintaining action potential conduction velocity at high firing frequencies in an unmyelinated axon

The descending contralateral movement detector (DCMD) is a high‐performance interneuron in locusts with an axon capable of transmitting action potentials (AP) at more than 500 Hz. We investigated biophysical mechanisms for fidelity of high‐frequency transmission in this axon. We measured conduction...
