-The deterioration of myelin sheath in Karl’s brain would lead to slower neural communication and, consequently, poorer muscle control. This process is associated with the condition multiple sclerosis.

-A decrease in Acetylcholine (ACh), a neurotransmitter involved in learning, memory, and motor control, can lead to tremors and poor motor control. At its extreme, this deficiency is known as Parkinson’s disease.
