Why don't you construct a computational model and find out for yourself?

Use the CellBuilder to create a model axon that consists of a chain of node and internode sections. Insert hh into the nodes, pas into the internodes. Make cm and g_pas in the internodes very small. Set e_pas to -65 mV. That will be good enough for a first approximation to myelinated axon.

What computations and what papers?

This discussion thread has not really been about NEURON, so it has been moved to
"General questions and discussions about computational neuroscience"
