Because axons in the immature mammalian CNS are not yet myelinated, these neurons are more amenable to regeneration. Which of the following properties of myelin, therefore, would be responsible in preventing such regeneration from occurring?
A) Insulating properties against action potential propagation
B) Physical barrier to axons that are elongating
C) Myelin's basic protein
D) The propagation of inhibitory potentials
E) Lowered neuronal resting membrane potential
