Childhood experiences affect the rate of myelination in a child's brain. Myelination is the development of fatty sheaths around neurons, which help neurons communicate better and facilitates learning.

The rate of myelination is facilitated by several factors. One important factor is the activity of oligodendrocytes, the cells responsible for producing myelin in the CNS. Another factor is the presence of axonal signals that trigger oligodendrocyte differentiation and myelination. Additionally, the level of neuronal activity and electrical impulses can also influence the rate of myelination.

Explain what birth rate and death rate mean?
birth rate-number of births occurring in a certain amount of time death rate-number of deaths occurring in a certain amount of time
What is the fertility rate in Benin?
The fertility rate in Benin is 5.49 births per woman.
What is normal pulse rate for 65?
The normal pulse rate is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. If you are a very active person, your heart rate will be in the low 60's at rest.
What is the birth rate in the US?
the Birth Rate in the usa is about 14 live births per 1000 people awsome!!!
Why does age affect pulse rate?
When you get older, your heart becomes more efficient at pumping blood and your pulse rate decreases.
A factor that determines the rate of impulse propagation or conduction velocity along an axon?
The speed at which neural impulses are transmitted. Diameter of the axon Degree of myelination of the axon
What are swan cells?
Responsible for myelination of neurons.
In what part of the brain does myelination occur last?
forebrain
What does gray matter lack that white matter has?
Myelination
What structure is responsible for myelination of the nerve fibers?
In the peripheral nervous system the cell that myelinates an axon is called a Schwann cell. In the central nervous system myelination is carried out by oligodendrocytes.
A process called myelination increases how fast you process information?
True
Is myelination of the nerve fibers in the Central Nervous System the job of the oligodendrocyte?
True
Does the the autonomic nervous system typically have thin fibers with little or no myelination?
yes.
What is the process by which individual axons are insulated with fatty sheaths to enhance efficiency?
Myelination is that process.
Which two characteristics of axons increases the speed of nerve impulse?
diameter and presence of myelination.....
How does an increase in concentration affects rates of chemical reaction?
The rate of chemical reaction increase as the concentration of the chemicals increase. The reason is obvious. There is more opportunity for the atoms to come in contact with each other. This facilitates rate of chemical reaction.
What are oligodendrocytes responsible for?
myelination of the axons and the dendrites are responsible for connection between the cell body and myelin
