Other demyelinating diseases of central nervous system - what does this mean

Other demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system occur when the myelin sheath, a protective layer of fatty tissue that covers nerve fibers, is damaged or destroyed, resulting in disrupted nerve signals to and from the brain. this can lead to a variety of neurological symptoms, including impaired movement, vision, and sensation.

What happens during the disease - other demyelinating diseases of central nervous system

Other demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system are conditions that involve damage to the myelin sheath, a protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. this damage can lead to a disruption of the electrical signals that the nerves use to communicate with each other, resulting in a wide range of neurological symptoms, including loss of sensation, muscle weakness, and visual disturbances. in many cases, the cause of these diseases is unknown, although genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role.
