Ditto. But I just posted a note of caution to article #5. It's probably just careless editing, but... I've shortened it a bit to quote here:
... I'd bet dollars to donuts that you're confusing nerves with nerve signals, in your text if not in your mind. Quoting you:
* A-Delta fibers are responsible for acute pain, and are short-lived. They fire for a while and then die off.
Do you really mean the fiber dies soon after it transmits a pain signal? It seems much more likely that the signal is short-lived and dies off quickly.
* A-Delta fibers are surrounded by a fatty, myelin sheath and travel at 60 ft/second (that’s fast!). C-fibers are unmyelinated and travel at 20 ft/second.
Damn, how do either of them stay in our bodies? I've been reading this article with interest, but now your carelessness is making me cautious.
