The top portion of this graphic features Neurons (blue) with axons wrapped by normal myelin (yellow). The lower portion of this graphic illustrates neurons with pathological axons wrapped by damaged myelin (yellow and pink). The elongated mitochondria (purple) in the lower portion are dysfunctional and characterized by accumulation of toxic ceramides (green).
