Question

________ is the process in brain development during which neurons are sheathed with a substance produced by the ________ cells that increases the speed of neuronal functioning.

Answer 1

Myelinogenesis is the process by which oligodendrocytes of the central nervous system produce myelin sheath for neurons of the brain. This fatty white substance is necessary for high-speed neural transmission between nerve cells. Moreover, glial cells are the support cells of the nerve cells.
