Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's own immune system attacks the the sheath of myelin surrounding the axon of the nerves and brain, resulting in disturbance of the normal transmission of electrical signals between these nerves and their co-laterals and eventually the brain itself.
Symptoms manifest in hundreds of different ways including physical and cognitive disabilities.
So it looks like myelin is not the problem.At least not in the CNS according to the big guys in Zurich. (They printed it in Nature Neuroscience so its probably pretty accurate.)
They say: " In the popular hypothesis, the scientists assume that MS-triggering myelin damage occurs without the involvement of the immune system. In this scenario, the immune response against myelin would be the result – and not the cause – of this pathogenic process."
I thought it happened that way anyway?!1)Myelin damage-2)immune systems responds-3)symptoms.
I think priming is involved.Definitely priming.Like in Alzheimer's.Yeah,priming.
