1. What is the major function of the neuron? 2. Are the nodes of Ranvier spaced equally along the axon? Why is this significant? 3. Define depolarization. Nodes of Ranvier are located on A) Schwann cells B) neuronal cell bodies C) oligodendrocytes D) neuronal axons. ...
such as Multiple Sclerosis, activated microglia either promote tissue damage or favor neuroprotection and myelin regeneration. The mechanisms for microglia-neuron communication remain largely unkown. Here, we identify nodes of Ranvier as a
The architecture and function of the nodes of Ranvier depend on several specialized cell contacts between the axon and myelinating glial cells. These sites contain highly organized multimolecular complexes of ion channels and cell adhesion molecules, closely connected with the cytoskeleton. Recent findings...

Terms used in reference to postsynaptic density; Contents of the nodes of Ranvier, which are gaps in the myelin sheath that allow the efficient propagation of...
The nodes of Ranvier are characterized by a high concentration of voltage-gated Na+ channels, which enables the regeneration of the action potential (Waxman and Ritchie 1993). Several other proteins were shown to be localized to the axolemma at the nodes, including Na+/K+ ATPases, the ...
Nav1.6 is the main sodium channel isoform at adult nodes of Ranvier. Here, we show that Nav1.2 and its β2 subunit, but not Nav1.6 or β1, are clustered in developing central nervous system nodes and that clustering of Nav1.2 and Nav1.6 is differentially controlled. Oligodendrocyte-conditione...

Each Schwann cell is only able to provide myelin sheath for one peripheral neuron axon, while that axon may have many Schwann cells insulating it. Oligodendrocytes are able to insulate multiple central nervous system neurons at once. What are the three functions of the myelin sheath? -To allow...
