Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disorder in which the myelin sheaths that protect and insulate nerve fibers in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves are destroyed. This results in a range of symptoms, including difficulty moving, speaking, and swallowing, as well as vision problems, numbness or tingling in the limbs, and muscle weakness. Epileptic seizures, neurogenesis, and hemispherectomy do not describe the symptoms or causes of MS.
