New research reveals that even a small loss of myelin—the protective coating around neurons—can severely disrupt how the brain sends and interprets sensory information.

Memories and learning processes are based on changes in the brain's neuronal connections and, as a result, in signal transmission between neurons.

The speed at which our neurons communicate with each other changes as we age and may increase in some regions of the brain. A better understanding of how neuron transmission speeds vary throughout a ...
