Gaps in myelin sheath?

Gaps in the myelin sheath can result in reduced conduction velocity of nerve impulses, leading to impaired communication between neurons. This can manifest as symptoms such as weakness, numbness, and coordination issues. Conditions like multiple sclerosis can cause damage to the myelin sheath, resulting in these gaps.

What insulates nerve fibers?

Myelin insulation insulates nerve fibers by wrapping around them and forming a protective sheath. This myelin sheath helps to increase the speed of nerve impulse conduction along the nerve fibers.
