Shielding effects of myelin sheath on axolemma depolarization under transverse electric field stimulation

Axonal stimulation with electric currents is an effective method for controlling neural activity. An electric field parallel to the axon is widely accepted as the predominant component in the activation of an axon. However, recent studies indicate that the transverse component to the axolemma is als...
