Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Multiple sclerosis (MS) has historically been defined as a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which leads to large focal lesions in the white matter of the brain and spinal cord, characterized by primary demyelination with a variable extent of axonal loss (Charcot 1880).

Detailed explanation-2: -White Matter Consists Mainly of Nerve Fibers In MS, the immune system attacks the myelin in the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. The attack causes inflammation that eventually leads to sclerosis, which is the medical term for scarring.
