Certain spinal cord lesions in people with MS show damage to nerve fibers despite having preserved myelin content, a possible ...

1 This is attributed to greater susceptibility of motor and proprioceptive nerve fibers to demyelination because they are surrounded by a thicker myelin coat than autonomic and pain fibers.
