Nodal conduction block: A unifying concept.

Published in: Muscle & nerve (2020)
A newly introduced term, "axonal conduction block," brought a confusion in the electrodiagnostic diagnosis of Guillain-Barrè syndrome (GBS). I am proposing the term "nodal conduction block" for "axonal conduction block." This unifying concept of nodal conduction block will accommodate both the traditional concept of demyelination as well as the new concept of nodopathy in the "axonal form of GBS,", making the practice of electrodiagnosis much easier.
