Your Central Nervous System (CNS) plays a key role in your MSThe Central Nervous System is made up of the Brain and Spinal Cord. It contains millions of nerve cells called neurons. Often, whenever your neurologist is looking at your MRI, you will see two distinct zones or areas of your brain:
The white matter has millions of axons (long tube like nerve cells that carry electric impulses from one part of the body to another) and it looks of color white since it contains a lot of fatty material called myelin. The grey matter consists of cell bodies and the branched dendrites that connects them together We are more concerned with the white matter since it contains the myelin sheath which insulates an axon from its neighbors. This means that nerve cells can carry electrical messages without interfering with one another. CLICK RIGHT HERE if you wish to learn more about the human nervous system
