Neuronal conduction of excitation without action potentials based on ceramide production.

BACKGROUND: Action potentials are the classic mechanism by which neurons convey a state of excitation throughout their length, leading, after synaptic transmission, to the activation of other neurons and consequently to network functioning. Using an in vitro integrated model, we found previously tha...
