What is multiple sclerosis?
During an MS attack, inflammation occurs in areas
of the white matter of the central nervous system
in random patches called plaques. This process is
followed by destruction of myelin, the fatty
covering that insulates nerve cell fibers in the
brain and spinal cord. Myelin facilitates the
smooth, high-speed transmission of electrochemical
messages between the brain, the spinal cord, and
the rest of the body; when it is damaged,
neurological transmission of messages may be
slowed or blocked completely, leading to
diminished or lost function. The name "multiple
sclerosis" signifies both the number (multiple)
and condition (sclerosis, from the Greek term for
scarring or hardening) of the demyelinated areas
in the central nervous system.
