A benign tumor of the myelin forming cells, called Schwann cells, of the vestibulocochlear nerve resulting in hearing loss.
benign ; myelin ; Schwann cell ; tumor ; vestibulocochlear nerve
The electrical signal which rapidly propagates along the axon of nerve cells as well as over the surface of some muscle and glandular cells and leads to stimulation of desired effect. It is the result of a change in flow of ions across the membrane due to voltage-activated ion channels.
