Is it possible to increase the speed of action potential propagation other than through the myelinated axons?
For example, does increasing the intensity of the stimulus increase the speed of action potential propagation? I know that it increases the frequency of action potentials, but I wasn't sure about the speed of action potential.
I was thinking that only the frequency increases and not the speed because of refractory period.
