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 …

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 …

The mouse brain is the most extensively studied brain of all species. We performed an
exhaustive review of the literature to establish our current state of knowledge on cell …

Structural plasticity in the myelinated infrastructure of the nervous system has come to light.
Although an innate program of myelin development proceeds independent of nervous …

Neuronal activity has been shown to be essential for the proper formation of neuronal
circuits, affecting developmental processes like neurogenesis, migration, programmed cell …

Myelin is best known for its role in increasing the conduction velocity and metabolic
efficiency of long-range excitatory axons. Accordingly, the myelin observed in neocortical …

Vertebrate myelination is an evolutionary advancement essential for motor, sensory, and
higher-order cognitive function. CNS myelin, a multilamellar differentiation of the …

Conduction time is typically ignored in computational models of neural network function.
Here we consider the effects of conduction delays on the synchrony of neuronal activity and …

Vesicular release from neurons promotes myelin sheath growth on axons. Oligodendrocytes
express proteins that allow dendrites to respond to vesicular release at synapses …
