Wnek (2016) summarizes that axoplasm gel is not necessary for neuronal excitability, Ca2+ is essential only when present on the outside of the axon, and excitability is reduced or lost if the axon interior is perfused with protease or drugs that interfere with cytoskeletal fibril assembly, growth, or stability.
