Microglia phagocytose myelin sheaths to modify developmental myelination [PDF]
During development, oligodendrocytes contact and wrap neuronal axons with myelin. Similarly to neurons and synapses, excess myelin sheaths are produced and selectively eliminated, but how elimination occurs is unknown. Microglia, the resident immune cells of the central nervous system, engulf surplus neurons and synapses. To determine whether microglia

Advanced Maternal Age Impairs Myelination in Offspring Rats
The effects of advanced maternal age (AMA) on the neurodevelopment of offspring are becoming increasingly important. Myelination is an important aspect of brain development; however, a limited number of studies have focused on the effects of AMA on ...

Spatio-temporal modeling of saltatory conduction in neurons using Poisson-Nernst-Planck treatment and estimation of conduction velocity [PDF]
Action potential propagation along the axons and across the dendrites is the foundation of the electrical activity observed in the brain and the rest of the central nervous system. Theoretical and numerical modeling of this action potential activity has long been a key focus area of electro-chemical neuronal modeling.

Microtubules, Myelin Sheaths, and Altered Behavior [PDF]
Mice are skttish creatures that innately hide from perceived threats by staying out of open areas, freezing to avoid predators, or hiding in dark spaces when an adverse stimulus is sensed. However, after inducing a global TPPP (tubulin polymerization promoting protein) gene knock-out (KO), which results in reduced myelin length and thickness (Fu et al.,

Mechanical Responses of a Single Myelin Layer: A Molecular Simulation Study
The myelin sheath provides insulation to the brain’s neuron cells, which aids in signal transmission and communication with the body. Degenerated myelin hampers the connection between the glial cells, which are the front row responders during traumatic ...

A myelin sheath protein forming its lattice. [PDF]
The formation of a mature, multilayered myelin sheath requires the compaction of lipid bilayers, but the molecular mechanism by which these bilayers condense is an open question. In this issue, Ruskamo et al. find that peripheral myelin protein P2 forms an ordered three-dimensional lattice within model membranes using Escherichia coli polar lipid ...
