Demystifying The Myelin <i>g</i> ratio: Its Origin, Derivation and Interpretation

2025-02-24

Abstract excerpt

Most studies involving myelin g ratios over the past 120 years assume this metric enumerates changes in myelin thickness (larger g ratio = thinner myelin) with axon or fiber diameter. And, moreover, such changes are directly correlated with internodal function (conduction velocity). However, such assumptions are warranted only in the absence of experimental errors and artifacts (i.e. under theoretical conditions...
