In game theory, the Nash equilibrium is a solution concept of a non-cooperative game involving two or more players in which each player is assumed to know the equilibrium strategies of the other players, and no player has anything to gain by changing only his own strategy.[1] If each player has chosen a strategy and no player can benefit by changing ...
Myelinated nerve fibers occur predominantly in the cranial and spinal nerves and compose the white matter of the brain and spinal cord. It is the myelin sheath that gives the whitish color to the areas of white matter. Unmyelinated fibers are abundant in the autonomic nervous system.
Each oligodendrocyte can supply myelin for several axons and each axon can be supplied by several oligodendrocytes. Oligodendrocytes wrap the myelin around the axons in thin sheets like rolled up paper. Schwann cells, another kind of glial cell, makes a slightly different kind of myelin in the peripheral nervous system.When parts of the myelin sheath is lost, oligodendrocytes attempt to replace it. In acute MS lesions, typical of very aggressive disease courses, oligodendrocytes are found in large numbers and there is evidence of abortive remyelination-probably the new myelin is being destroyed faster than the oligodendrocytes can lay it down.
