Abstract: The cross-sectional area of myelinated axons increases greatly during postnatal development in mammals and is an important influence on axonal conduction velocity. This radial growth is driven primarily by an accumulation of neurofilaments which are… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Neurofilaments are abundant space-filling cytoskeletal polymers that are transported into and along axons. During postnatal development, these polymers accumulate in myelinated axons causing an expansion of axon caliber, which is necessary for rapid electrical… read more here.
