-
Myelination speeds conduction by approximately 10- to 100-fold depending on the axon, not a fixed factor of 100
Beforeincreases neural conduction speed by a factor of 100
Afterincreases neural conduction speed by roughly 10 to 100 times depending on axon diameter
Why: Verified already fixed correctly in article body. FAQ mentions myelination generically ('dramatically increase conduction speed') without restating the unverified fixed-factor claim, so no FAQ correction was needed.
