Effect of axon fluid as a highly dielectric medium in high-speed conduction of action potentials

To verify the mechanism of the high conduction velocity of an action potential, we proposed a new axon equivalent circuit that incorporates the effect of the dielectric characteristics of axon fluid. It was confirmed that a high-speed conduction velocity could be calculated with the proposed equivalent circuit and that the dielectric constant of an ionic fluid similar to axon fluid was similar to that calculated using the proposed equivalent circuit. Moreover, the contribution of the combination of the axon morphology and the axon fluid to the conduction velocity was confirmed.
