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 ...

Millions of myelin-producing cells have been mapped in the mouse brain, advancing our understanding of nervous system ...

Researchers mapped myelin-making cells in mice, showing some brain regions recover better after myelin damage.

Demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, present a substantial and escalating burden. | Demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS ...

Researchers say study identifies location of oligodendrocytes in the brain, and integrates information about gene expression and the structural features of neurons.

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

In long-lived animals, renewed but thin myelin sheaths are enough to restore the impaired nervous system and can do so for years after the onset of disease, scientists have discovered. In the central ...

The study covered in this summary was published in medRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been peer reviewed. Tau protein levels are lower in more highly myelinated cortical regions. Tau spreading ...

Efficient removal of abnormal myelin allows survival of nerve fibers targeted by adaptive immune cells, according to a novel study. Myelin is an insulating sheath around axons -- the processes ...
