Throughout our lifespan, new sensory experiences and learning continually shape our
neuronal circuits to form new memories. Plasticity at the level of synapses has been …

Oligodendrocytes generate multiple layers of myelin membrane around axons of the central
nervous system to enable fast and efficient nerve conduction. Until recently, saltatory nerve …

During development, oligodendrocytes contact and wrap neuronal axons with myelin.
Similarly to neurons and synapses, excess myelin sheaths are produced and selectively …

The cingulum bundle is a prominent white matter tract that interconnects frontal, parietal, and
medial temporal sites, while also linking subcortical nuclei to the cingulate gyrus. Despite its …

Myelin, a lipid membrane that wraps axons, enabling fast neurotransmission and metabolic
support to axons, is conventionally thought of as a static structure that is set early in …

BACKGROUND Myelin, produced by oligodendrocytes, supports the rapid and
synchronized transfer of information across the central nervous system (CNS). Earlier views …

Oligodendrocyte loss in neurological disease leaves axons vulnerable to damage and
degeneration, and activity-dependent myelination may represent an endogenous …

Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs), which differentiate into myelinating
oligodendrocytes during CNS development, are the main proliferative cells in the adult …

Investigating human oligodendrogenesis and the interaction of oligodendrocytes with
neurons and astrocytes would accelerate our understanding of the mechanisms underlying …

The synapse is the focus of experimental research and theory on the cellular mechanisms of
nervous system plasticity and learning, but recent research is expanding the consideration …
