In neuroscience, the axolemma (, and 'axo-' from axon) is the cell membrane of an axon, the branch of a neuron through which signals (action potentials) are transmitted. The axolemma is a three-layered, lipid bilayer membrane. Under standard electron microscope preparations, the structure is approximately 8 nanometers thick.
