Axon diameter determines the mouse optic nerve compound action potential profile in response to varying stimulus frequency
The mouse optic nerve (MON) is a central white matter tract, whose axons range in diameter from 0.2 to 2.7 µm. In the adult animal all the axons are myelinated, conferring increased conduction velocity. Increased conduction velocity can also be achieved by increasing axon diameter. However, current...
