An important property of
auditory signal transmission consists of electrical signals «jumping» from one myelin domain to the other.
Not exact matches
«Such losses are particularly critical in the
auditory system, because they reduce the temporal precision of
signal transmission — and the quality of our perception of the acoustic environment is primarily dependent on rates of action potential generation and precise neural computation of their temporal sequences.»
An Ludwig - Maximilians - Universitaet (LMU) in Munich study reveals that sound - evoked activity of neurons in the
auditory system of the mouse increases the thickness of their myelin sheaths — and enhances the speed of
signal transmission — both during development and in the adult brain.
We simulated how physical changes to the myelin and / or redistribution of channels influenced the
signal transmission along the
auditory nerve.
