Multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis. Illustration of the brain and spinal cord of a woman suffering from multiple sclerosis (MS). Also seen in the image is a magnified view of the spinal cord (upper right) showing individual nerve fibres. At lower right is a magnified view of an axon within one of the nerve fibres which is covered with a protective myelin sheath (grey). In MS, patches of the myelin sheath are destroyed. These patches of destroyed myelin are known as plaques (black). The affected nerve fibres cannot conduct nerve impulses properly, so body functions such as movement and sensation are lost. The cause of MS is not known

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate complexities of multiple sclerosis (MS), a debilitating neurological condition. The image portrays the brain and spinal cord of a woman afflicted by MS, providing an illustrative insight into the disease. In the upper right corner, we observe a magnified view of the spinal cord, revealing individual nerve fibers that play a crucial role in transmitting signals throughout the body. Meanwhile, at the lower right corner, our attention is drawn to an axon within one of these nerve fibers. This axon is enveloped by a protective myelin sheath depicted in shades of grey. However, in individuals with MS, patches known as plaques emerge on this myelin sheath – represented here as black areas. These destructive plaques disrupt proper nerve impulse conduction and result in significant loss of bodily functions such as movement and sensation. Despite extensive research efforts, scientists have yet to determine the exact cause behind this enigmatic condition that affects millions worldwide. This thought-provoking artwork serves not only as an educational tool but also highlights the urgent need for continued medical advancements and improved healthcare for those living with multiple sclerosis.
