Thesis
Dynamics of myelination in the mammalian nervous system
- Abstract:
-
Myelination was first understood to enable faster impulse propagation in axons more than 60 years ago, yet it took a long time to recognise the mechanistic complexity of this cellular process and the diverse roles that myelinating glia play in the formation and functioning of the vertebrate nervous system. Once considered a static insulator, myelinating glia are now increasingly recognised as dynamic and adaptive cell populations. The effective bidirectional signalling between axons and glia ...
