A computational study of the impact of inhomogeneous internodal lengths on conduction velocity in myelinated neurons

Age-related decreases in the conduction velocity (CV) of action potentials along myelinated axons have been linked to morphological changes in the myelin sheath. In particular, evidence suggests the presence of segmental demyelination and remyelination of axons. In remyelinated segments, the distanc...
