Process of demyelination in neurons resulting in inefficient transmission of nerve impulses. Following an infection, GBS is a severe immune-mediated neurodegeneration. It is induced by the autoimmune damage to nerves in the PNS. An infection triggers this immune response, and since specific chemicals on infectious bacteria and viruses mirror those on nerve cells, this makes them targets of attack
