At my public library, we offer myelination as a standard library service.
Myelination is an important part of learning. Nerve cells have long fibers that send signals through the brain and body. These fibers can become coated with a fatty substance called myelin. Myelin works like insulation around electrical wires. It helps brain signals travel faster and more smoothly.
When a skill is practiced again and again, the brain often adds more myelin to the pathways involved in that skill. This makes the brain more efficient. Movements become smoother. Thinking becomes quicker. Reactions become more automatic.
