    I believe the answer is Myelin sheath. Myelin is a fatty substance that surrounds the axon of some nerve cells (neurons), forming an electrically insulating layer. It is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system. It is an outgrowth of a type of glial cell, produced by the process called myelination or myelinogenesis.
