“…The optimal functioning of processing speed, which refers to the amount of information that can be processed per unit time, was linked to the diameter of the nerve pathways, the integrity of the myelin sheath, the degree of myelination, the number of ion channels, and the efficiency of the synapses. Some studies linked the use of some chemotherapy drugs used in the treatment of breast cancer to cause toxicity in the Central Nervous System, which could cause cell damage and DNA chain breaks, leading to cell death and consequent synapse loss [42].…”
