Mylin is a fatty substance that covers axon of nerve cells and which is important for proper nerve conduction.

Normally there is a type barrier between blood and brain called blood brain barrier(BBB). Build of endothelial cells lining blood vessels wall. Here Tcells breaks BBB and causes inflammatory processes. Due to this it is considered as Auto Immune Disorder.
