In neuroscience, myelin is an electrically insulating fatty layer that surrounds the axons of many neurons, especially those in the peripheral nervous system. It is an outgrowth of glial cells: Schwann cells supply the myelin for peripheral neurons while oligodendrocytes supply it to those of the Central nervous system. The myelin produced by the different cell types varies in its chemical composition or configuration, but performs the same function. ...
