Myelination-independent functions of oligodendrocyte precursor cells in health and disease
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are a population of tissue-resident glial cells found
throughout the CNS, constituting approximately 5% of all CNS cells and persisting from …

Periods of synchronized myelin changes shape brain function and plasticity
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 …
