The nanoscopic submyelin space mediates efficient K+ uptake and shapes nodal action potentials

Myelin membranes are tightly connected to the axon, forming an electrical route for rapid saltatory conduction of action potentials from node to node. Beneath the myelin, adjacent to the node, lie voltage-gated potassium (K+) channels, whose fundamental role in conduction remains poorly understood. Constrained by biolo...
