Myelin is a fatty layer of membranes that insulates nerves, facilitating the transmission of electrical impulses through nerve pathways that control neurological functions such as movement, bowel/bladder function, vision and sexual function.The cells that make myelin, called oligodendrocytes, can initially repair myelin, but at some (...)
