HIGHLIGHTS
- who: Hiroaki Wake from the (UNIVERSITY) have published the article: Nonsynaptic junctions on myelinating glia promote preferential myelination of electrically active axons, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS of 29/04/2015
- what: The authors show using an in vitro system that oligodendrocytes preferentially myelinate electrically active axons but synapses from axons onto myelin-forming oligodendroglial cells are not required.
- how: In the present experiments calcium imaging electron microscopy and electrophysiology were used to determine the involvement of axon-glia communication in myelination of electrically active axons in_vitro. Consistent with the hypothesis . . .
