This project investigates the biology of myelin in the nervous system, focusing on its growth, plasticity, and turnover. It aims to understand the role of myelin in neuronal function and its regulation by neuronal activity.
The myelin sheath is a plasma membrane extension that is laid down in regular spaced segments along axons of the nervous system.
In the central nervous system it is formed by oligodendrocytes that spirally wrap their plasma membrane around axons to generate a highly abundant, tightly packed stack of membranes with unique structural properties.
Previously, myelin has been regarded as an inert and purely insulating membrane, but it now appears that myelin is metabolically active, providing metabol…
