Correct answer: B. slower never conduction times
- A. rerouting of nerve impulses
- B. slower never conduction times
- C. cortical brain lesions

Explanation
Myelin insulates axons and permits rapid saltatory conduction between nodes. When myelin degenerates, nerve impulses travel more slowly, producing slower conduction times.
