The role of glycogen and lactate in supporting action potential conduction in mouse central white matter and peripheral nerve

Central white matter and peripheral nerves function by conducting action potentials, which rely on the presence of transmembrane potentials generated by ion gradients. The maintenance of these transmembrane potentials is the main energy-dependent process in the nervous system. In this thesis I inves...
