Evolutionary conservation of conduction velocity through NF-M microsatellite expansion [abstract]
(University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research, 2006)Myelination results in rapid conduction velocities due to myelin-dependent radial axonal growth and axonal insulation. As larger mammals evolved, the resulting increase in axonal length would require a compensatory mechanism ...
