If neurons are wires, myelin is the insulation that wraps around them; without it, current loss occurs and the circuit weakens. This is analogous to what happens in demyelinating diseases such as ...
Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...
New research reveals that psilocybin and MDMA promote long-term PTSD recovery by physically remodeling myelin insulation in ...
Oligodendrocytes, the myelinating cells of the central nervous system (CNS), play a crucial role in myelin generation, maintenance, and repair after CNS injuries and in demyelinating diseases. Beyond ...
New research may help scientists locate immature cells in the central nervous system that could shed light on the causes of neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis - and autoimmune disease ...
Researchers say study identifies location of oligodendrocytes in the brain, and integrates information about gene expression and the structural features of neurons.
Researchers from Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology of Chinese Academy of Sciences generated mice with conditional knockout (cKO) of Mea6 in oligodendrocytes. Using different models of ...
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted coordination across brain networks. New research shows that treatment with ...
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is not only characterized by strongly encoded traumatic memories, but also by disrupted coordination across brain networks. New research shows that treatment with ...
The human brain has about as many neurons as glial cells. These are divided into four major groups: the microglia, the astrocytes, the NG2 glial cells, and the oligodendrocytes. Oligodendrocytes ...
Transplanted human glial cells could outcompete human glia in a chimeric mouse model of Huntington’s disease, inducing apoptosis. And younger health cells could outcompete older ones. The findings, ...
