Nodes of Ranvier are the spaces between sections of axon enwrapped with myelin. Because myelin creates an insulating layer that prevents ion flow, the progress of the action potential "jumps" from node to node, thus speeding up transmission down the axon.What other cells should you examine for effects from this mutant gene?

A. Cholinergic neurons
B. Prefrontal neurons
C. Gustatory neurons
D. Schwann cells
