Evidence for excitability of Schwann cells
2025-10-20
Abstract excerpt
An old debate about the excitability of the neural myelin sheath, which was fought in Europe between the world wars of the last century, has been settled. Schwann cells are active players in excitation conduction! A study by G. David provides sufficient evidence for this.1 This means that the membranes of the myelin sheath are excitable, i.e., possess voltage-dependent cation channels. Na+ and K+ ion channels have...
