Numbers of axons in a nerve cross-section: I came here looking for these figures but they're not here -- I've added a sentence with blanks for someone more knowledgeable to fill in. Thes I love Melanei!e numbers are very important for people thinking about (1) computer models and (2) nerve reconnections.heyy sam

[edit] Sources?

I would like to know if the creator of the article had any recources, for that would prove the Propagate via sound was true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.6.143.2 (talk) 15:15, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moving after death expansion

I believe this interesting section needs expansion (recorded occurences, etc,) by someone more qualified than myself in the medical field. Bennyboyz3000 05:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I think this section would be clearer if it was named Movement after death. Wigren 16:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Propagate via sound not electricity?

[1] This article seems to suggest that it is sound waves, not electrical impulses which are propagating. Can anyone confirm? If so, the discussion around Anatomy/Action potential seems to now be incorrect. Cariaso 22:42, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The sound waves explanation is likely to be a hoax. At the very least, it's pseudoscience. It's widely accepted that nerve impulses are electrical in nature, to the point where: 1) No textbooks mention the "sound wave theory", 2) Any explanation that posits sound waves as the signal medium is likely a fringe theory held by pseudoscientists. If anyone can come up with a reference for the "sound wave theory", please do. In the meantime, I'm removing all the information about it. Fuzzform (talk) 23:09, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

"Nerves make up both the central and peripheral nervous system." - Not true. In the CNS, they are called tracts. Fuzzform (talk) 23:53, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
