    Myelin Sheath In a neuron‚ the myelin sheath consists of fat-containing cells that insulate the axon from electrical activity. This can be compared such as the insulation of a house. The main purpose of the insulation is to increase the rate of transmission of signals in the neuron. There is a small gap between each myelin sheath cell along the axon. Since fat inhibits the proper agitation of electricity‚ the signals jump from one gap to another. The destruction or loss of the myelin sheath in

    Composition and Formation of Myelin Sheath Molecular Neurobiology Myelin may be made by different cell types‚ varies in chemical composition and configuration‚ but performs the same insulating function. Myelin is about 40% water; the dry mass of myelin is about 70 - 85% lipids and about 15 - 30% proteins. Some of the proteins that make up myelin are myelin basic protein (MBP)‚ myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)‚ and proteolipid protein (PLP). The primary lipid of myelin is a glycolipid called

    evidence that motor control exercise may be of benefit in the treatment of chronic low back pain patient populations. Motor control exercise is based on the idea that low back injuries cause inhibition of core stabilizing muscles‚ which will then atrophy over time (Hodges & Richardson‚ 1996; Richardson‚ Hodges‚ & Hides‚ 2007). Costa et al. (2009) found evidence supporting the that idea motor control exercise improves function and patient impression compared to a control group. The control group received
