The Mechanical Microenvironment Regulates Axon Diameters Visualized by Cryo-Electron Tomography
Axonal varicosities or swellings are enlarged structures along axon shafts and profoundly affect action potential propagation and synaptic transmission. These structures, which are defined by morphology, are highly heterogeneous and often investigated concerning their roles in neuropathology, but wh...
