| 41. | Myelin Water Fraction ( MWF ) shows lesions under MRI
|
| 42. | Fast-acting nerves have myelin and slow nerves do not, he said.
|
| 43. | Myelin acts as an insulator for electrical signals.
|
| 44. | The breakdown of myelin means the signal moves much more slowly, said Chance.
|
| 45. | As myelin deteriorates, nerve signals go awry.
|
| 46. | In MS, a protective nerve-fiber coating called myelin comes under attack.
|
| 47. | Myelin was discovered in 1854 by Rudolf Virchow.
|
| 48. | Plasmalogen is the most abundant phospholipid in myelin.
|
| 49. | The axon is insulated by a myelin sheath.
|
| 50. | The myelin sheath provides insulation for the nerve impulse when communicating between neural systems.
