Following publication of the original article [1], the authors noticed a mistake in the first paragraph within “Altered propagation”:

The phrase “When an internode undergoes demyelination, its transverse resistance is assumed to increase while its capacitance decreases [29]” should read: “When an internode undergoes demyelination, its transverse resistance is assumed to decrease while its capacitance increases [29]”

Figure 1(d) has also been corrected due to an incorrect arrangement of colors:

The Stochastic Spike-Diffuse-Spike Model. (d) Schematic illustration of two Ranvier nodes separated by a distance d for the three damage configurations. For a propagation from left to right, we consider three possibilities for an action potential starting at node (a). Top: demyelination of orthodromic internode. Middle: demyelination of antidromic internode. Bottom: equal demyelination of both anti- and orthodromic internodes
