Myelination is the process by which a myelin sheath is formed around nerve fibers, allowing for faster and more efficient transmission of electrical signals within the nervous system. This sheath is produced by specialized cells called oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. Myelination plays a critical role in regulating nerve impulse conduction and promoting proper functioning of the nervous system.
