Perivascular macrophages produce type I collagen around cerebral small vessels under prolonged hypertension in rats

Takeshi Inagaki et al.

Summary: Hypertension leads to structural remodeling of cerebral blood vessels, involving fibrosis and type I collagen production, with perivascular macrophages (PVMs) found to be involved in collagen production near cerebral small vessels in rats. This highlights the potential role of PVMs in vascular fibrosis under hypertensive conditions.

Periaxonal and nodal plasticities modulate action potential conduction in the adult mouse brain

Carlie L. Cullen et al.

Summary: Research has shown that myelin sheaths in the adult mouse brain, supported by mature oligodendrocytes, remain plastic and undergo subtle structural modifications that influence action potential conduction velocity. Stimuli like repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and spatial learning can alter the axon-glial configuration in active brain regions, independently of oligodendrogenesis, robustly changing action potential conduction velocity. Modifying this structure may be a mechanism that facilitates learning in the adult mouse brain, as demonstrated by correlations between aptitude in a spatial learning task and conduction velocity in specific neural pathways.

Oligodendrogenesis and myelination regulate cortical development, plasticity and circuit function

Jessica L. Fletcher et al.

Summary: Oligodendrocytes play a crucial role in adding myelin sheaths to neurons, supporting axon health, and modulating neuronal function throughout cortical development and adulthood. They also have a lifelong impact on learning and memory, highlighting the importance of myelination in sustaining neural circuits and functions.

Large-scale electron microscopic volume imaging of interfascicular oligodendrocytes in the mouse corpus callosum

Tatsuhide Tanaka et al.

Summary: Single oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system produce myelin sheaths around multiple axons, and interfascicular oligodendrocytes (IOs) in the corpus callosum of adult mice have morphologically polarized cell bodies with processes of different thicknesses for myelinating axons. The myelin sheaths originating from specific IOs have biased thicknesses and are associated with axonal diameter. Despite potential axonal regulation of myelin sheath thickness, a single axon may also independently influence myelin thickness.

Oligodendrocyte HCN2 Channels Regulate Myelin Sheath Length

Matthew Swire et al.

Summary: HCN2 ion channels play a key role in regulating myelin sheath length in the central nervous system. Pharmacological blockade or genetic knockout of HCN2 can affect myelin sheath length, highlighting their importance in the relationship between neuronal activity and myelin formation.

NF1 mutation drives neuronal activity-dependent initiation of optic glioma

Yuan Pan et al.

Summary: Neurons play an essential role in promoting the growth of certain types of brain tumors, such as optic pathway gliomas driven by mutations in the NF1 tumor suppressor gene. Inhibition of neuronal activity through light deprivation can prevent tumor formation and progression, highlighting a potential therapeutic strategy and the importance of Nf1 mutation-mediated dysregulation of neuronal signaling pathways in cancer predisposition syndromes.

Experience-dependent myelination following stress is mediated by the neuropeptide dynorphin

Lindsay A. Osso et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the neuropeptide dynorphin, released upon high levels of activity, promotes myelination. Following forced swim stress, an increase in OPC differentiation and myelination in related neurons is observed.
