Conduction in Nerve Fibres
Data by E. A. Blair and Erlanger on the voltage-capacity curves and the nerve impulse velocities of each of several fibres in the same nerve trunk are related to Rashevsky's equation for the velocity of transmission in nerve. The results lend support to Rashevsky's analysis. Other empirical relations between the velocity and the parameters of the excitation equations indicate the correctness of...
متن کاملConduction velocity along human nociceptive reflex afferent nerve fibres.
The conduction velocity along the nociceptive flexor reflex afferent nerve fibres was investigated in human subjects. The posterior tibal nerve was stimulated at two sites by single painful electrical shocks of 1.0 ms duration and with adequate intensity and the reflex EMG discharges were recorded from the short head of the biceps femoris muscle. The fastest reflex conduction velocity along the...
متن کاملConduction velocity and spike configuration in myelinated fibres: computed dependence on internode distance.
It has been argued theoretically and confirmed experimentally that conduction velocity (theta) should be proportional to nerve fibre diameter for myelinated fibre tracts, such as normal peripheral nerve, exhibiting 'structural' similarity'. In some axons, however, the nodes of Ranvier are more closely spaced than in normal peripheral nerve. Analytic arguments have suggested that when internodal...
متن کاملAnode break excitation in single myelinated nerve fibres.
It has long been considered that anode break excitation (ABE) is not elicitable in normal isolated nerve fibres. Quite recently, one of the authors (Konishi, 1957) found that it was due to weakness of the current applied and that, if a strong current (more than ten times the rheobase) was used, a single fibre, too, gave readily ABE. The present paper deals chiefly with threshold conditions for ...
متن کاملOn the capacity current in myelinated nerve fibres.
Different equivalent circuits are presented to describe the capacity current, Ic, of potential-clamped Ranvier nodes. The corresponding transfer functions are discussed in examining the influence of the involved parameters on size and time course of Ic. The following results were obtained: i. The duration and the amplitude of Ic increased with increasing membrane capacity. ii. The amplitude of ...
