Describe the process of myelination and its importance in neural signal transmission.

<start_of_turn>model

Myelination involves the wrapping of axons with myelin sheaths, which are insulating layers produced by glial cells (oligodendrocytes in the CNS and Schwann cells in the PNS). Myelinated axons facilitate faster neural signal transmission through a process called saltatory conduction, where electrical impulses jump between gaps in the myelin called nodes of Ranvier. Myelination increases signal speed and efficiency, ensuring rapid communication between different parts of the nervous system. Disorders affecting myelination, like multiple sclerosis, can lead to impaired neural function and various neurological symptoms.<end_of_turn><eos>
