Intro
I don't know what I'm doing but I think the "Clinical Significance" section could include a brief discussion of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and therapeutic electrical stimulation (TES) |
This page requires further cleanup. There are numerous grammatical errors and an occasional lack of simple sentence cohesion. 132.239.90.212 ( talk) 06:04, 23 January 2008 (UTC) Do the nodes of ranvier have anything to do with the sodium pump mechanism (do they actually allow more Na+ and K+ into the axon, depolarizing it further), or do they merely provide a "boost" to the signal as it jumps from node to node?-- 205.161.211.191 17:34, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Nevermind, I read about Saltatory Conduction and that answered my question.-- 205.161.211.191 17:45, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
Nodes of Ranvier is also a rock band (Mabye a screamo one!) Just thoght you'd like to know. *<:-} —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.183.118.16 ( talk) 06:14, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Any chance of a definition of paranode and juxtaparanode? Jeff Knaggs ( talk) 16:47, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
The entire "overview" section is completely foreign to me. Observe this segment
Your witness. Paskari ( talk) 17:08, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
What is the effect of the much larger amount of ion channels in Nodes of Ranvier than in umyelinated axons?
What effect does the prevention of ion leakage by the myelin sheath have on the speed of conductance of the nerve signal? I.e. what happens in more detail: is it the leakage of potassium out of the cell that is most important?
"The contacts between neurons and glial cells display a very high level of spatial and temporal organization in myelinated fibers." (a) What is referred to by the "high level of... temporal organization"? Is this somehow referring to the sequence in time during development? Or to what happens when the neuron fires? Or??? (b) Given that the glial cells are supplying the myelin, the "in myelinated fibers" seems redundant. Gwideman ( talk) 23:06, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Move Myelin sheath gap to Node of Ranvier? -- Anthonyhcole ( talk) 13:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
If you search the Terminologia Histologica for "Ranvier" then you can see that nodes of Ranvier is designated H2.00.06.2.03016. It looks like they have tried to remove the names of scientists from most of the histological terminology. If you step through this page viewer to page 36 then you can see the second row from the bottom: H2.00.06.2.03016 "nodus interruptionis myelini" Meyelin sheath gap. -- IONTRANSP ( talk) 17:51, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: moved. The old history is now located at Talk:Node of Ranvier/old. Jenks24 ( talk) 15:48, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Myelin sheath gap →
Node of Ranvier – This is the more common name and the name that users will be more familiar with.

Wikipedia's policy on article titles.Follwing the move above, the page history of this page has been preserved at Talk:Node of Ranvier/old, which now redirects to the article [2], and there is no corresponding page at Node of Ranvier/old, and can't be (not even a redirect) as subpages are disabled in the article namespace.
Is this the best solution? There are a couple of things that worry me about it. In particular, will this edit history be preserved and not accidentally deleted, and will it be picked up by others who reuse our content under our copyleft licences?
I'm tempted to at least redirect Talk:Node of Ranvier/old here rather than to the article. But IMO the history belongs somewhere in the article namespace, rather than at a talk page. Andrewa ( talk) 19:21, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
My experience has been that talk subpages are always left alone so the chance of an accidental deletion is minuscule, but I can still understand you concern. There may well be a better way. As for others who reuse our content, if the don't notice Template:Copied at the top of this talk page then it's unlikely they're going to properly attribute regardless of whether the old content is sitting in the talk subspace, article namespace or wherever.
I'd be fine with Talk:Node of Ranvier/old redirecting here, as where it points is irrelevant to the purpose the page serves. You could even change the content to "DO NOT DELETE" or something. But if we decide this stuff would be better somewhere in the article space, in this case would could put it at Node of ranvier or the old title, Myelin sheath gap, in what would effectively be a history swap (and having just linked that and re-read makes me unsure why I don't just always do history swaps in these cases..).
Anyway, it's certainly (to me) an interesting question and I'm more than happy to concede the way I've been doing it could be improved upon. Will drop a note at WT:RM to see if anyone else wants to comment. Jenks24 ( talk) 04:35, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
Went through my raw watchlist and found this list of pages where I'd done this procedure in the past. Obviously if we decide to do this another way they should be moved elsewhere.

The word "paranode" is repeatedly used in this article, but is neither defined nor linked. I found the following definition by googling, "The paranode is a region in myelinated nerve fibers where the terminal myelin loops form specialized septate-like junctions with the axolemma." This is not an area I know well. Perhaps an expert could explain more clearly what this means. The definition is from a very expensive (about US $350) copyrighted book, if that matters. Wiki does not explain what a "myelin loop" is either. 190.160.193.50 ( talk) 15:10, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
