The myelin sheath is an electrically insulative coating on nerve cells throughout the body and in the brain. This coating helps nerve signals travel faster and helps the nerve signal get to the end of the neuron. De-myelinating is the loss of this coating. It can be caused by several disorders such as multiple sclerosis. This will in nerve damage, which can cause problems with vision, speech, balance, cognition, weakness, numbness, lack of muscle control, fatigue, bowel problems and urination problems.

What does the demyelinating disease affect?
A demyelinating disease is any disease of the nervous system.
What demyelinating nerve disorder can paralise the legs?
Guillain-Barre syndrome is a demyelinating nerve disorder that can lead to paralysis of the legs. It is an autoimmune condition in which the body's immune system attacks the peripheral nerves, resulting in muscle weakness and in severe cases, paralysis.
What could demyelination be if it's not multiple sclerosis?
idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating diseases Vitamin B12 deficiency Central pontine myelinolysis Tabes Dorsalis transverse myelitis Devic's disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy Optic neuritis Leukodystrophies A demyelinating disease is any disease of the nervous system in which the myelin sheath of neurons is damaged. Demyelinating describes the effect of the disease, rather than its cause; some demyelinating diseases are caused by genetics, some by infectious agents, some by autoimmune reactions, and some by unknown factors.
How do you treat demyelinating plaque?
See multiple sclerosis. there's lots of help in the web
What other diseases is associated with demyelinating disease besides MS?
Other diseases associated with demyelinating disease include neuromyelitis optica (NMO), acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM), and transverse myelitis. These conditions also involve damage to the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers in the central nervous system, resulting in neurological symptoms.
What is Demyelinating Encephalopathy?
1. extensive idiopathic loss of myelin sheaths in the brain, as occurs in leukodystrophy.
Can demyelinating disease be cured?
It is possible to cure demyelinating disease but there is no known cure as of 2014. This is due to the nature of the disease having many sources from genetic to infections or autoimmune reactions. Treatments as of 2014 are used to slow the process and improve the patients general way of life to reduce the effects of the disease on their life as it progresses.
Is sensory demyelinating polyneuropathy an afferent pathway problem?
Yes, sensory demyelinating polyneuropathy primarily affects the sensory nerve fibers by damaging the myelin sheath that surrounds them. This results in impaired transmission of sensory signals from the peripheral nerves to the central nervous system, leading to symptoms such as numbness, tingling, and reduced sensation.

What is a part of a neuron affected by multiple sclerosis?
the myelin sheaths. The disease is classified as demyelinating , which is also known as the degeneration of the myelin structures in the neuron.
Can you enumerate the different science processes?
what do you mean science processes? do you mean scientific method?if that is,then identify the problem,form a hypothesis,gathering of data and observation,conclusion....
What is demyelinating processes?
Demyelination is the process that erodes the sheath that normally protects nerve cells. This causes a reduction in the nerve impulse conduction. One of the diseases that causes this is multiple sclerosis.
