Abstract: Here, the model of dissipative waveguide presents an axon where oscillations of ions generate electromagnetic waves that extend at the speed of light in a given medium. A transmission of spikes (wave packets) along axons… read more here.

Abstract: During development, oligodendrocytes contact and wrap neuronal axons with myelin. Similarly to neurons and synapses, excess myelin sheaths are produced and selectively eliminated, but how elimination occurs is unknown. Microglia, the resident immune cells of… read more here.
