Best Answer

Probably you mean deyelination, which is a loss of the myelin sheath covering many nerves. Myelin helps nerve transmission go faster, and there are several demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis, that destroy myelin. this interferes with nerve transmission and leads to distressing loss of muscle control and sensory input.
