Can someone clarify a question about myelin for me? Schiffman's
Sensation & Perception book (5th ed., 2000, p. 13) says: "Myelin is made of
protective and nutritive cells (called glial cells)...."
I was under the impression that glia cells were something different from myelin
(i.e., supportive and perhaps nutritive cells interspersed among neurons). My
study of this content is, I will note, very far from recent and maybe I just
don't remember this correctly, or maybe this is relatively new information.
Any help?
