Christian TidonaDid you know that #myelination of neuronal axons by #oligodendrocytes in our #brain is a plastic process in which #myelin structure (white matter) can change in response to neuronal activity?
Here is a very interesting review article by Juliet Knowles and colleagues at Stanford University:
Adaptive and maladaptive myelination in health and disease
#OpenAccess article in Nature Reviews #Neurology: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41582-022-00737-3
Adaptive and maladaptive myelination in health and disease - Nature Reviews Neurology
In this Review, the authors provide an overview of evidence that activity-regulated myelination is required for brain adaptation and learning, and discuss how dysregulation of activity-dependent myelination contributes to neurological disease and could be a new therapeutic target.
