A) speeding the transmission of neural impulses or signals.
B) increasing the surface area of the brain.
C) the assimilation of new experiences.
D) generalizability.
Myelination
The process of forming a myelin sheath around a nerve to improve the speed at which electrical impulses are passed along the nerve fiber.
Neural Impulses
Electrical and chemical signals transmitted along neurons, facilitating communication within the nervous system.
Myelin
An insulating material that forms a sheath around certain axons and speeds the transmission of nerve impulses from one neuron to the next.
