Oligodendrocyte-lineage cells are central nervous system (CNS) glia that perform multiple
functions including the selective myelination of some but not all axons. During myelination …

Myelination of axons by oligodendrocytes enables fast saltatory conduction.
Oligodendrocytes are responsive to neuronal activity, which has been shown to induce …

Oligodendrocytes form myelin around axons of the central nervous system, enabling
saltatory conduction. Recent work has established that axons can regulate certain aspects of …

Background In the developing central nervous system, pre-myelinating oligodendrocytes
sample candidate nerve axons by extending and retracting process extensions. Some …

Oligodendrocytes ensheath neuronal axons with myelin, a proteolipid-rich membrane that
increases conduction velocity and provides trophic support. Our lab and others have …

Regulation of myelination by oligodendrocytes in the CNS has important consequences for
higher-order nervous system function (eg,[1–4]), and there is growing consensus that …

Oligodendrocytes myelinate axons in the central nervous system (CNS). In this issue of
Developmental Cell, Czopka et al.(2013) shed light on the temporal control of myelination by …

To study activity-regulated myelination, we imaged synaptic vesicle fusion along single
axons in living zebrafish, and found, surprisingly, that axonal synaptic vesicle fusion is …

Oligodendrocytes (OLs) are the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS), which
are derived from OL precursor cells. Myelin insulates axons allowing the saltatory …

Oligodendrocytes are the myelinating cell of the CNS and are critical for the functionality of
the nervous system. In the packed CNS, we know distinct profiles of oligodendrocytes are …
