" ... MS typically develops in adults between the ages of 20-40, and may present with episodes of visual loss, tingling, fatigue and generalized weakness. The exact cause is not yet clear but we do know that the body begins to attack itself, targeting myelin, the fatty substance protecting and covering nerve fibers in the central nervous system. Treatment is with high dose steroids in the acute phase, followed by newer so called "disease-modifying" therapies helping to significantly reduce relapse rates and symptoms. ... "
" ... Myelin is a mixture of fats and proteins which insulate our central nervous system. Much like the plastic or rubber coatings on electrical wiring allow electricity to flow through it seamlessly, myelin stops our nerve signals from leaking out. However, when myelin becomes too thin or is missing in areas, these nerve impulses can fail to reach their destination causing a range of symptoms such as weakness and paralysis as happens in multiple sclerosis, when the immune system mistakenly attacks myelin. ...

" ... Neuroscientists worldwide are increasingly studying myelin and its amazing impact on rapid learning, mastery, and neuroplasticity. So keep your circuits strong with a deep, focused practice. Myelination requires quality versus quantity. ... "
" ... On top of lacking connections, fetal brain cells lack insulation. Adult neurons are coated in a fatty layer termed myelin, which prevents ions leaking out their axons. Unmyelinated neurons can’t fire properly; in fact, signals often can’t make it to the end of the cell at all, and if they can fire, they do so at a rate so slow that they can’t transmit meaningful information. Ion leakage caused by lack of myelin also creates cross-talk between nearby neurons (which is why poor myelination is thought to be implicated in epilepsy). ... "
" ... Particularly worryingly, 9 patients were diagnosed with a form of Acute Demyelinating Encephalomyelitis (ADEM), where the immune system is thought to attack myelin, the insulating covering of nerves in the central nervous system. If myelin is absent or not thick enough, nerves lose the ability to effectively transmit information and a wide range of symptoms including paralysis and cognitive issues can result. ADEM is rare, but when it is diagnosed, it is almost always found in children after viral infections, not adults as seen in this study. ... "
