Axon myelination is significantly disrupted in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers also found brain cells of men and women vary significantly in how their genes respond to the neurodegenerative disease.
Myelin thickness and oligodendrocytes were significantly reduced in the prefrontal cortex in mouse models of Williams syndrome.
Researchers have successfully created stem cell derived brain cells which can generate oligodendrocytes, neurons and astrocytes.
CHD8, a gene associated with autism plays a significant role in oligodendrocyte development, researchers report.
Researchers have observed, in real time, the formation and repair of myelin sheaths around nerve fibers.
Researchers look at the potentially negative role exposure to some common chemicals can have on brain development and IQ.
While many of us find the sound of a person chewing or breathing heavily annoying, for those with misophonia, such noises are unbearable. Researchers have identified the neural networks and brain changes associated with the disorder.
Researchers report motor problems associated with preterm birth could be due to defects in peripheral nerves.
Researchers discovered an important component of myelination following birth that could help treat neurodegenerative diseases.
A new study reports researchers have discovered a previously unknown relationship between brain function and structure. The findings could help explain how communication breaks down in diseases such as multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia.
A new study has identified a gene that appears to be associated with binge eating.
Researchers describe the mechanical forces at play during myelination.
