Demyelinating conditions are a group of neurological disorders characterized by damage to the myelin sheath, the protective fatty layer that surrounds nerve fibers in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Myelin acts as an insulator, allowing electrical signals to travel quickly and efficiently along nerves. When myelin is damaged or destroyed, nerve impulses can be slowed or blocked, leading to a wide range of neurological symptoms.
The most well-known demyelinating disease is multiple sclerosis (MS), which primarily affects the central nervous system.
The causes of demyelination are diverse and not always fully understood. In autoimmune conditions like MS,
