Download or read book Myelinated Fibers and Saltatory Conduction in the Shrimp written by Ke Xu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-10-20 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1961, neurobiologists found that the conduction velocity of the nerve impulse in the giant nerve fiber of the Penaeus shrimp abdominal nerve cord was over 200 m/s, the highest speed of information transmission ever observed in the animal kingdom. The peculiar myelin sheath with its unique nodal structure and the electrical properties of the nerve fibers of the shrimp have continued to be investigated for a quarter of century and are now fully described in this book. The investigation dispels the commonly held belief that the fastest recorded impulse conduction is about 120 m/s in the thickest vertebrate myelinated nerve fibers. In the shrimp, researchers found a completely novel type of functional node in the giant fiber which they designated as the fenestration node. In portions of the myelinated fiber, the fenestration node furnished the sites of excitation. Also discovered was a new strategy for increasing impulse conduction in the shrimp. The book includes a section on the formation of the fenestration node and the discovery of a strategy that allows the shrimp to escape its predators by an action of the fastest velocity. The data presented in this volume on the myelin sheath of invertebrates present a new direction for this field and a rich source of information for neurobiologists worldwide.
Download or read book The Conduction of the Nervous Impulse Classic Reprint written by Keith Lucas and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conduction of the Nervous Impulse In one sense it has been obvious from the first that the student of the central nervous system has common interest with the investigator of peripheral nerve. One of the chief concerns of the latter is to discover the physico-chemical change which is the basis of conduction; and, as Sherrington has said, the intimate nature of conduction is a problem coextensive with the existence of nerve cells, and enters into every question regarding the specific reactions of the nervous system. But when the student of conduction in peripheral nerve leaves aside the physico-chemical theory of the nervous impulse and attempts merely to investigate in detail the phenomena of conduction, then it has seemed to many that his work becomes academic, and loses touch with the great human interests of the nervous system. Conduction in peripheral nerves is a rigid affair, seeming to lack just those features, Inhibition, Summation, Rhythm, After-discharge, which give to central conduction its flexibility and its means Of adaptation to specific ends. There is no need to press this point further the differences between peripheral conduction and conduction in the reflex arc form a common theme for the academic essay of the elementary student.

Download or read book Physiology and Electrochemistry of Nerve Fibers written by Ichiji Tasaki and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physiology and Electrochemistry of Nerve Fibers explores the properties of nerve fibers, including morphology, biochemistry, and physical chemistry. The book also makes an effort to trace the origins of the concepts that are important in studying the physiology of the nerve fibers. The text covers the early studies of electrochemistry; the different theories regarding nerve excitation; the conduction of nerve impulses along different nerve fibers; and the behavior of impulses in myelinated nerve fibers and its electrical excitation. The book also discusses the emergence, morphology, and biochemistry of the squid giant axon, as well as further studies about it; macromolecular transitions; the physiochemical approach and model; and the electrochemical considerations of the classical membrane theory. The monograph is intended for doctors specializing in neurology, psychologists, and psychiatrists who wish to know more about nerve fibers, their structure, chemical properties, functions, and the theories behind it, as well as its transmission of electrical impulses.
Download or read book Environmental Neurotoxicology written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1992-02-01 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientists agree that exposure to toxic agents in the environment can cause neurological and psychiatric illnesses ranging from headaches and depression to syndromes resembling parkinsonism. It can even result in death at high exposure levels. The emergence of subclinical neurotoxicity-the concept that long-term impairments can escape clinical detection-makes the need for risk assessment even more critical. This volume paves the way toward definitive solutions, presenting the current consensus on risk assessment and environmental toxicants and offering specific recommendations. The book covers: The biologic basis of neurotoxicity. Progress in the application of biologic markers. Reviews of a wide range of in vitro and in vivo testing techniques. The use of surveillance and epidemiology to identify neurotoxic hazards that escape premarket screening. Research needs. This volume will be an important resource for policymakers, health specialists, researchers, and students.

Download or read book A History of Nerve Functions written by Sidney Ochs and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2004-04-19 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent developments have extended our knowledge of the basic functions of nerves: notably, the demonstration of the mechanism within nerve fibers which transports a wide range of essential materials. In order to understand how this discovery occurred, it is necessary to examine its history. The story begins in ancient Greece when nerves were conceived of as channels through which animal spirits carried sensory impressions to the brain. As science developed, the discoveries of various physical and chemical agents supplanted the agency of animal spirits until the molecular machinery of transport was recognized. In this fascinating and complete history, Sidney Ochs begins with a chronological look at this path of discovery, followed in the second half by a thematic approach wherein the author describes the electrical nature of the nerve impulse, fiber form and its changes in degeneration and regeneration, reflexes, learning, memory and other higher functions in which transport participates.
