Impulse conduction increases mitochondrial transport in adult mammalian peripheral nerves in vivo.

Matching energy supply and demand is critical in the bioenergetic homeostasis of all cells. This is a special problem in neurons where high levels of energy expenditure may occur at sites remote from the cell body, given the remarkable length of axons and enormous variability of impulse activity ove...
