The process of __________ coats the neural fibers with an insulating fatty sheath, which improves the efficiency of message transfer.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myelination is the process by which neural fibers, specifically axons, are coated with a fatty substance called myelin. This myelin sheath serves as an insulator, improving the efficiency and speed of message transmission along the axon. The other answer choices (B) neuroimaging, (C) synaptic pruning, and (D) neurotransmission refer to different processes involved in neural communication and are not directly related to the insulation of neural fibers.
