Abstract: (1066 Views)
Information transmission and processing are playing an essential role in the neural system, which can be done by electrochemical signals produced in ion channels or known biophotons in the nerve cell. One of the challenges that researchers face is finding the path of photon transmission in the nerve cell. Myelinated axons are a good candidate for transmitting signals and photons due to their waveguide structure. On the other hand, with the emergence of diseases such as MS and disorders in the production and transmission of nerve signals due to the demyelination, Understanding the properties of the myelinated axon as a waveguide is getting more important. In this paper, a better understanding of neural signaling in the myelinated axon as a waveguide and use its results to enhance optical methods such as optogenetics, light transmission by considering the paranode region, the Ranvier node, and the demyelination of myelin sheath in nerve fiber are investigated.
