myelinated fibres

In peripheral nerves there is a loss of large myelinated fibres.

The medial division of the dorsal root contains myelinated fibres of larger diameter.

Medullary laminae of thalamus are layers of myelinated fibres that appear on cross sections of the thalamus.

This is because the myelinated fibres of the MOCS are easier to electrically stimulate and record from (Guinan, 1996).

The present understanding of pain in babies is largely due to the recognition that the fetal and newborn unmyelinated nerve fibres are capable of relaying information, albeit slower than would be the case with myelinated fibres.
