👉 Neuronophagy is a phenomenon observed in certain types of bacteria and fungi that leads to the destruction or death of neurons. This process is primarily responsible for the breakdown of the myelin sheath around nerve cells, which are essential for transmitting electrical signals between neurons. Neurons are responsible for processing information from the environment and coordinating motor functions within the body. The term "neuronophagy" refers to this phenomenon in a more general sense, as it involves the destruction or death of neuronal structures
