Nerve fibers in the brain, the spinal cord and even the optics are wrapped with insulation layers known as myelin sheath. The layer allows for electrical impulse conduction through the sheath very high speed and high level of accuracy. Any damage to this layer affects the manner in which the transmission takes place. This is the genesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). The nerves of the sensory organs, the spinal cord and those of the brain lose some parches of myelin which disrupts the communication between the brain and other parts body parts.
