Myelin is defined as a fatty layer which coats some axons; an insulating material composed of fats and proteins. a fatty substance coating the axons of some neurons that facilitates the speed and accuracy of neuronal communication Moreover, Myelin is a lipid sheath that surrounds and insulates the axons of the central and peripheral nervous systems. It serves to increase the speed of nerve conduction; fatty sheath that wraps around neurons and enables them to transmit information more rapidly. Please see also Myelin sheath
Myelin sheath is an insulating material that covers many vertebrate axons; fatty-type covering of axons that increases the speed of axonal transmission; sheet of fatty substance that develops around the neurons to promote faster transmission of electrical signals through the nervous system. Please see also Myelin .
Myelin staining are selectively dyes the sheaths of Myelinated axons. As a result, white matter, which consists of myelinated axons, stains black, unlike other areas of the brain that consist mostly of cell bodies and nuclei.
Myelination is defined as development of a Myelin sheath that insulates an axon; development of myelin around neurons, which proceeds at different rates in different areas of the brain.
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is defined as an instrument for measuring a person’s preferences, using four (4) basic scales with opposite poles. The four (4) scales are: (1) extraversion/introversion, (2) sensate/intuitive, (3) thinking/feeling, and (4) judging/perceiving. The various combinations of these preferences result in 16 personality types
