What best describes how MS stops action potential propagation?
Without myelin, the internode membrane resistance decreases, preventing local currents from reaching adjacent nodes. Myelin increases the membrane resistance of the axon section it surrounds, allowing local currents to travel between nodes, even though they are 1-2 mm apart. Removing myelin decreases the membrane resistance of internode regions. This shortens the distance that local currents travel because more charge now exits at the internode regions before it reaches the next node.
