Baylor College of Medicine Researchers Identify “Booster Stations” Along Central Nervous System Channels

Researchers at Houston’s Baylor College of Medicine have determined that as electrical signals travel from neuron to neuron along central nervous system axons, they are regenerated by “booster stations” called nodes of Ranvier, analogically to how phone, data, or video signals are maintained along networks by line signal amplifiers that boost reception quality.
