Neurologic Clinics, 1995
Although it was initially thought to be a passive structure, the oligodendrocyte and myelin unit is now considered highly dynamic with many important functions beyond its role in myelination. Inhibitors of neurite growth can be localized to oligodendrocyte and myelin, highlighting the importance of oligodendrocytes in general CNS maintenance and in ...

Although it is well known that the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), and in particular their myelin, contain large quantities of cholesterol, the specific role of this lipid in the structure and function of the nervous system remains elusive. In this review, we will summarize progress in our understanding of the role

Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, 1973
We have presented a resume of recent investigations of the biochemistry of glycolipids and glycoproteins in the developing nervous system. The novel observations and advances in these areas coupled with relevant studies on the metabolism of myelin basic protein provide a basis for the development of a hypothesis regarding the formation of the myelin ...

Morphology of Myelin and Myelination
1984Myelin is a membrane characteristic of nervous tissue, laid down in segments along selected nerve fibers, that functions as an insulator to increase the velocity of stimuli being transmitted between a nerve-cell body and its target. While well documented in several invertebrates (annelids and crustaceans) in which it exists in its peripheral nervous ...

Current Protocols in Cell Biology, 2006
AbstractThe methods used to prepare myelin involve homogenization of the tissue in isotonic sucrose solution, followed by the isolation of myelin membranes by a series of steps that include density gradient centrifugation and differential centrifugation. Homogenization of nervous tissue in isotonic sucrose causes the myelin sheath to peel from the axon

Myelinated Nerve Fibre, Myelin
2010Nerve fibres designed for particularly rapid and efficient conduction of action potentials are equipped with a myelin sheath, a lipid-enriched layer, produced by specialised glial cells, the oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system, and the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system.

Morphological Aspects of Myelin and Myelination
1977Myelin is a membrane characteristic of the vertebrate nervous system, laid down in segments along selected nerve fibers, functioning as an insulator to increase the velocity of stimuli being transmitted between a nerve cell body and its target. Myelin is morphologically unique, and, while the present section will highlight this uniqueness, it is ...

Myelin plasticity, the capacity for dynamic changes in myelination and myelin structure, challenges the long-held view of myelin as a static entity post-development. Emerging evidence highlights its pivotal role in adapting neural circuits during learning, memory, and recovery from injury or disease.
