Seeing Is Believing: Myelin Dynamics in the Adult CNS

Abstract

Live imaging studies in mice show that adult-born oligodendrocytes and myelin are remarkably stable. Neural activity enhances oligodendrocyte integration, arguing that internode addition rather than alteration represents the mechanism for any experience-dependent cortical myelination changes that might underpin learning.

Keywords: aging; imaging; myelin; oligodendrocyte; plasticity.
