A computer simulation of conduction in demyelinated nerve fibres

1. The theoretical effects of demyelination on conduction of a propagated impulse have been examined in a computer simulated myelinated nerve fibre. Demyelination was simulated by increasing the capacitance and conductance of the myelin sheath of individual internodes or parts of internodes.
