In humans, the epicranial aponeurosis originates from the external occipital protuberance and highest nuchal lines of the occipital bone. [1] It merges with the occipitofrontalis muscle. In front, it forms a short and narrow prolongation between its union with the frontalis muscle (the frontal part of the occipitofrontalis muscle).
The epicranial aponeurosis is a tough layer of dense fibrous tissue that covers the upper part of the skull. The epicranial muscle (also called the epicranius) has two sections: the occipital belly, near the occipital bone, and the frontal belly, near the frontal bone.
An action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell rapidly rises and falls. [1] This depolarization then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarize. Action potentials occur in several types of excitable cells, which include animal cells like neurons and muscle cells, as well as some plant cells.
An aponeurosis (/ ˌ æ p ə nj ʊəˈr oʊ s ɪ s /; pl.: aponeuroses) is a flattened tendon [1] by which muscle attaches to bone or fascia. [2] Aponeuroses exhibit an ordered arrangement of collagen fibres, thus attaining high tensile strength in a particular direction while being vulnerable to tensional or shear forces in other directions.

A: Aponeurosis. The epicranial aponeurosis or galea aponeurotica is a tough layer of dense fibrous tissue which anchors the above layers in place. It runs from the frontalis muscle anteriorly to the occipitalis posteriorly. L: Loose areolar connective tissue. This layer has a gel-like consistency, and allows the more superficial layers of the ...
Alike individual action potentials, CAP waveforms are typically biphasic presenting a negative and positive peak. The morphological attributes of the CAP (amplitude, spread, latency) depend on various factors including electrode placement, stimulus intensity, number of fibers recruited, the synchronization of action potentials, and conduction ...
A number of leading economists, including advisers to past U.S. presidents, have coalesced around the view that President-elect Donald Trump's plans to broaden tariffs, cut taxes and curb ...
The signal is a short electrical pulse called action potential or 'spike'. Fig 2. Time course of neuronal action potential ("spike"). Note that the amplitude and the exact shape of the action potential can vary according to the exact experimental technique used for acquiring the signal.
