Abstract
Small rapid changes in the diameter of an axon takes place when an action potential progresses along the axon. In the giant axon of the crayfish these occur within a period of about 1 millisecond and are typically about 18 angstroms in total amplitude.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
