Term: Myelinisation

Description:

Myelinisation refers to the process of myelination, which is the development of the myelin sheath around nerve fibers. This protective sheath helps to insulate and speed up the transmission of nerve impulses in the central nervous system. Myelinisation is a crucial stage of neurological development, typically occurring during infancy and continuing into early adulthood.

Senses:

• Noun (Medical): The process of forming the myelin sheath around nerve fibers.
• Noun (Biology): The formation of myelin in the nervous system.

Example Sentences:

2. The myelinisation of the brain is an essential part of the normal development and functioning of the nervous system.
3. Impairments in myelinisation can lead to various neurological disorders.
