“…In any case, after the passing of a saltatory action potential (sAP), and of the internodal action potentials induced by it, 26 transition zones were formed at the boundaries of the internodal region devoid of potassium channels. 27 In turn, these zones became sources of internodal action potentials that back-propagated to the closest nodes. If the nodes were activated by these internodal waves, an after-discharge was produced that propagated saltatorially from node to node in opposite directions from the region devoid of potassium channels.…”
