ms is a where the body attacks the myelin sheath that covers the neuron, the electrical signal is sent trough the covering because its faster then going though the entire cell. making someone with ms slower at moving there arms or legs. or making them completely unable to move body parts.

How do opiates affect the brainstem?

Opiates affect the brainstem by binding to specific opioid receptors, particularly mu receptors, which are densely located in areas responsible for vital functions such as respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure regulation. This binding can depress these functions, leading to slowed breathing and decreased heart rate, which can be life-threatening in cases of overdose. Additionally, opiates can influence the brainstem's role in pain modulation, contributing to their analgesic effects. Overall, their impact on the brainstem is a key factor in both their therapeutic uses and potential for abuse.
