  A possible mechanism for the synchronization of action potential propagation
along a bundle of neurons (ephaptic coupling) is considered. It is shown that
this mechanism is similar to the salutatory conduction of the action potential
between the nodes of Ranvier in myelinated axons. The proposed model allows us
to estimate the scale of the correlation, i.e., the distance between neurons in
the nervous tissue, wherein their synchronization becomes possible. The
possibility for experimental verification of the proposed model of
synchronization is discussed.
