Demylinated
Demylinated refers to a state where the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers has been damaged or lost. Myelin is a fatty substance that acts as an insulator for axons, the long, slender projections of nerve cells. This insulation is crucial for the rapid and efficient transmission of electrical signals throughout the nervous system. When myelin is damaged, the signals travel more slowly and can become distorted or blocked, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms.
The loss of myelin, a process known as demyelination, can be caused by various factors. Autoimmune diseases,
The symptoms of demyelination vary greatly depending on the location and extent of the myelin damage. They
