Fig 11. Resistor network connecting two myelinated fibers ephaptically.

Example of RN connecting two myelinated fibers ephaptically. Conceptual (not to scale) representations of two myelinated fibers are shown as axons (green) wrapped by the myelin sheaths (dark yellow). Thick black line segments represent purely resistive connections. Grey boxes represent membrane compartments, either nodal or internodal (in which case, they also include the myelin sheath in series). The periaxonal space of the double-cable model is not shown in this figure for simplicity, but it is important to hold in mind that it is present in the models. The y-axis has been used on the ordinate axis in this figure for simplicity, but given our model, this can be any direction co-planar with the x-y plane.
