Supreeta N.
In patients with multiple sclerosis, their myelin sheaths are being targeted by their immune system and get destroyed. In this situation, what would happen when it comes to signaling with neurons? A) Conduction speed would decrease by about 50 times compared to having a myelin sheath B) Conduction speed would be sped up and increase by 50 times when compared to having a myelin sheath C) Conduction speed would not change when compared to having a myelin sheath D) Conduction speed depends on the axon and how fast the brain needs the signal E) none of the above
