In the PNS, one Schwann cell forms a single myelin sheath (Figure 1A). By contrast, in the CNS, the oligodendrocyte sends cell processes to myelinate multiple segments on many axons (Figure 2).

It is characterized histologically by destruction of the myelin sheath with preservation ... various forms of polyneuritis, and the central nervous system in multiple (disseminated) sclerosis.

Unlike other organs that have fat cells, neurons and other cells in the central nervous system ... myelin loss may also ...

On the other hand, remyelination “is the phenomenon by which new myelin sheaths are generated around axons in the adult central nervous system (CNS),” following the loss of myelin in diseases ...

The nervous system is broadly divided into two sections: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous ... triggered by signals from dendrites, and myelin sheaths surrounding the axon ...

Your brain and spinal cord make up your central nervous system, and they both contain neurons. Parts of these neurons are protected by an insulating layer called a myelin sheath. If you have ...

Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus have found a promising drug candidate that could help ...

They have some features in common: A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath ... to co-ordinators such as the central nervous system or CNS. The CNS is the brain and ...

A long fibre (axon) which is insulated by a fatty (myelin) sheath ... These move towards the central nervous system (CNS). The CNS is the brain and spinal cord. It coordinates the responses.
