"[Researchers'] stochastic stimulations establish that the mammalian pyramidal cell axon and the
squid axon have critical diameters of 0.15µm and 0.2µm (Figure 1A, vertical gray lines), and this similarity suggests that an axon’s critical diameter is relatively insensitive to changes in its biophysical parameters." |
