Decremental conduction in a mammalian peripheral nerve

Abstract: Conduction velocities of the A‐beta, A‐delta and C‐fibers in isolated vagal nerves were measured before, during, and after the nerve was exposed to sodium‐deficient hypotonic solutions. The solution was kept at 230C. Recorded at a conduction distance of 18 mm and with the nerve in a 0.25% NaCl solution, the conduction velocity of the A‐beta component in the response was found to decrease at an average rate of 1.07 m/s per min; of the A‐delta, 0.35 m/s per min and of the C‐fibers, 0.020 m/s per min. Thus, the A… Show more

“…If nociception is not the same as pain, can we explain this within the analogue – binary information system? Small and unmyelinated C fibers, as well as A-delta fibers, transmit through a decremental conduction that is quite more noticeable than among proprioceptive A-beta fibers[ 22 ]. Hence probably, the difference in the peripheral processing of thermalgesia from proprioception.…”
