Verification of the effect of the axon fluid as a highly dielectric medium in the high-speed conduction of action potentials using a novel axon equivalent circuit

Both sensory neurons and motor neurons transfer signals rapidly through long pathways. Such signals propagate as action potentials through neurons. In myelinated neurons, high conduction velocities of 120 m/s have been reported, even for axons of just 20 μm in diameter. Such a high conduction veloci...
