Abstract
The method of making Monte Carlo calculations of the velocity of fast axonal transport is described and applied in a relatively simple case. These illustrative calculations are supplemented by a differential equation solution of the same problem, valid as an asymptotic limit. The latter treatment is closely related to the theory of muscle contraction.
