Myelin is a fatty substance produced by oligodendrocytes (cells of the central nervous system) that forms a sheath, like a kind of "insulator." It "protects" the extensions of neurons (axons ...

It “protects” the extensions of neurons (axons) and increases the conduction ... process in the animals and then restore the myelin sheath. This allowed for an interesting study window.

Myelin and Mental Efficiency The fatty sheath that wraps around neural axons, myelin, determines how fast signals travel between regions. The better insulated the pathways, the more coordinated ...
