What would happen to an infant whose nerve fibers did not myelinate properly?

The brain receives huge amounts of information from outside our body via our five senses (vision, sound, taste, touch, and smell), integrates this information, and orders our muscles to take action. The membrane that makes all this happen so efficiently is called Myelin... *Without this all these things would be much slower and less efficient.*

An infant whose nerve fibers did not myelinate properly will exhibit

movements which are uncoordinated and awkward.

An unmyelinated nerve fiber means it lacks myelin sheaths which are

responsible for adequate conduction of impulses in the body from the

nervous system.

When the impulses aren't conducted normally as a result of the absence of

myelin sheaths the child will have a slower impulse conduction which

explains why the infant movements will be uncoordinated, and

awkward.
