The action potential (AP), which is initiated near the initial segment of the axon, follows a branched path. Reliability of propagation could be altered at branch points or axonal swellings. Propagation can be assessed by extracellular recording from an isolated axonal branch (inset). (Recording procedure used in Raastad & Shepherd, 2003.)
