Abstract excerpt
Large axons identified in freeze-fracture replicas of the spinal cord white matter of 'shaking pups' were encircled by spiral processes at the paranodes that appeared to arise from oligodendrocytes. In the axolemma adjacent to some of these processes there were paranode-like intramembranous specializations and node-like accumulations of E-face particles; in other instances, no special contacts formed between...
