Executive function (EF) skills are neurocognitive skills that support the reflective, top-down
coordination and control of other brain functions, and there is neural and behavioral …

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 …

The generation of myelin-forming oligodendrocytes persists throughout life and is regulated
by neural activity. Here we tested whether experience-driven changes in …

Lipids constitute the bulk of the dry mass of the brain and have been associated with healthy
function as well as the most common pathological conditions of the brain. Demographic …

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic and progressive neurological disease that is
characterized by neuroinflammation, demyelination and neurodegeneration occurring from …

Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (qMRI) goes beyond conventional MRI, which
aims primarily at local image contrast. It provides specific physical parameters related to the …

Throughout infancy, childhood, and adolescence, our brains undergo remarkable changes.
Processes including myelination and synaptogenesis occur rapidly across the first 2–3 years …

Cognitive decline remains an unaddressed problem for the elderly. We show that
myelination is highly active in young mice and greatly inhibited in aged mice, coinciding with …

Axonal myelin increases neural processing speed and efficiency. It is unknown whether
patterns of myelin distribution are fixed or whether myelinating oligodendrocytes are …

For more than one century, brain processing was mainly thought in a localizationist
framework, in which one given function was underpinned by a discrete, isolated cortical …
