    Myelin sheaths, which cover the axon of the nerve cells in the brain and spinal

    cord, prevents the electric current from dissipating from the axon.

    Destroying the myelin sheaths impairs the conduction of signals on the affected nerves, causing damage in every function that the nerve is involved, in this case will affect movements and vision.
