PSYCH 038: Neuropsychiatric Aspects of Multiple Sclerosis and Other Demyelinating Disorders
The brain depends not only on structure, but on the integrity of its connections. Myelin - the insulating layer around nerve fibres - ensures that signals travel efficiently across networks. In demyelinating disorders such as multiple sclerosis (MS), this insulation is compromised, altering how information flows through the brain.
In this episode, we explore how demyelination leads to both neurological and neuropsychiatric symptoms. Slowed or disrupted signalling affects distributed networks, producing cognitive impairment, fatigue, depression, emotional lability, and, in some cases…
