Comparison of the experimental data (asterisks) [20] with theoretical predictions. Each axon bifurcation (with d₁ ≠ d₂) is represented in the plot twice. The lines correspond to Eq. (9) with various values of the exponent: the Rall's law, η = 1.5, the best-fit exponent, η = 2.57, and our prediction for myelinated axons, η = 3.
