Adolescent oligodendrogenesis and myelination restrict experience-dependent neuronal plasticity in adult visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Stryker | Authors: Wendy Xin, Megumi Kaneko, Richard H Roth, Albert Zhang, Sonia Nocera, Jun B Ding, Michael P Stryker and Jonah R Chan | Summary: BACKGROUND: Developmental myelination is a protracted process in the mammalian brain. One theory for why oligodendrocytes mature so slowly posits that myelination may stabilize neuronal circuits […]
