7 Saltatory conduction — A historical narrative ... In 1934, shortly after the development of the technique of surgically isolating a motor nerve fiber innervating toad's gastrocnemius muscle in G. Kato's laboratory, a discovery was made by M. Kubo and S. Ono indicating that the myelin sheath exerts a strong influence...

To allow nerve cells to transmit information efficiently over long distances, advanced life forms have developed a mechanism known as saltatory conduction. ... In simple terms, signals transmitted during saltatory conduction jump from one non-myelinated area (the nodes of Ranvier) to another, which enormously increases...
