Sodium Channel Loss of Function Sensitizes Conduction to Changes in Extracellular Sodium Concentration
… ventricular arrhythmias. Alterations in cardiac conduction, particularly the slowing of conduction velocity is one major factor in arrhythmogenesis. By understanding the mechanisms and factors that modulate cardiac conduction velocity, we can assess and perhaps mitigate the risk of arrhythmia in …

Neural Circuitry Deficits Associated With Dysfunctional Myelin
… thereby improving the speed of saltatory conduction. In the absence of Cldn11, conduction velocity is slowed, most dramatically in small diameter myelinated fibers, somewhat analogous to reducing myelin thickness. Notably, the absence of Cldn11 is without degenerative myelin pathology, …

Anoxia-Induced Changes in Action Potential Propagation in a Non-Myelinated Axon
… AP and the possible changes indicated above. Conduction velocity decreased over an hour of recording in all groups, except those with minimal dissections, and we observed an increase in AP half-width and a decrease in the slope of the rising phase of the AP over time. After HS pre-treatment …

Implementation of Novel Group Delay Decomposition Method and Surgical Protocol for Assessing Peripheral Neuropathy
… an anesthetized rodent for purposes of obtaining conduction velocity readings. The ability to accurately quantify nerve conduction velocity has potential for use in the field of diagnostic medicine and disease characterization. An accurate reading depends on both the surgical method used to expose …

Nichtinvasive Erfassung elektrophysiologischer Parameter zur Beurteilung von Muskelermüdung unter isometrischen und dynamischen Kontraktionen
… fatigue is a decrease in the single motor unit conduction velocity. To allow the recording and evaluation of single motor unit potentials over a long duration, the method of high spatial resolution electromyography (HSR-EMG) was utilized and improved. In HSR-EMG, the spatial selectivity needed …
