When myelin deteriorates, nerve signal conduction is disrupted, leading to neurological symptoms such as weakness, numbness, and impaired coordination. This can occur in conditions like multiple sclerosis where the immune system erroneously attacks the myelin sheath. Treatment aims to manage symptoms, slow down deterioration, and potentially promote myelin repair.
