In 1982, Muscle & Nerve, a monthly, peer-reviewed, scientific journal, became the AANEM's official journal. Published by Wiley, the journal publishes research and education directly related to neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic topics. [11] The AANEM News is the official publication of AANEM.
[10] [11] A reduction in the amplitude of the nerve conduction waveform may indicate damage to the axons of a nerve. [10] [11] Conduction velocity and distal latency might be mildly slower if the damage affects the “ largest and the fast conducting axons.” [10] [11] Conduction Block: It occurs when action potentials fail to propagate down ...
Normal 'adult' values for conduction velocities are typically reached by age 4. Conduction velocities in newborns and toddlers tend to be about half the adult values. [1] Nerve conduction studies performed on healthy adults revealed that age is negatively associated with the sensory amplitude measures of the Median, Ulnar, and Sural nerves ...
Over time, newer techniques, such as somatosensory evoked potentials, single fiber electromyography, autonomic testing, and neuromuscular ultrasound have evolved as useful complementary techniques to nerve conduction studies and elecytromyography, which remain the core of electrodiagnostic medicine.

Electromyoneurography (EMNG) is the combined use of electromyography and electroneurography [1] This technique allows for the measurement of a peripheral nerve's conduction velocity upon stimulation (electroneurography) alongside electrical recording of muscular activity (electromyography). Their combined use proves to be clinically relevant by ...
Further mathematical theories of nerve fiber conduction based on cable theory were developed by Cole and Hodgkin (1920s–1930s), Offner et al. (1940), and Rushton (1951). Experimental evidence for the importance of cable theory in modelling the behavior of axons began surfacing in the 1930s from work done by Cole, Curtis, Hodgkin, Sir Bernard ...
In neurobiology, the length constant (λ) is a mathematical constant used to quantify the distance that a graded electric potential will travel along a neurite via passive electrical conduction. The greater the value of the length constant, the further the potential will travel.
Some research indicates that nerve conduction tests will be normal in at least 50% of the cases. Given the unclear role of electrodiagnostics in the diagnosis of tarsal tunnel syndrome, efforts have been made in the medical literature to determine which nerve conduction studies are most sensitive and specific for tibial mononeuropathy at the ...
