Rapid info processing in vertebrates depends on #myelin, but how are CNS axons selected for #myelination? This study shows that axonal target selection by #oligodendrocytes depends on a redundant set of #AdhesionMolecules; simultaneous loss abolishes myelination @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/4vyW63S

Diverse Erreger kommen als Ursache des in Peru gehäuft auftretenden Guillain-Barré-Syndroms in Frage. Denn viele Infektionen können den Autoimmunmechanismus auslösen.#Guillain-Barré-Syndrom #Peru #Autoimmun #Immunsystem #Antikörper #Myelin #Lähmungen #Nervenzellen #Neuronen #Immunglobuline #Campylobacter #Jejuni #Zika #Ebv #Cmv #HIV #Medizin

Did you know that #myelination of neuronal axons by #oligodendrocytes in our #brain is a plastic process in which #myelin structure (white matter) can change in response to neuronal activity?
Here is a very interesting review article by Juliet Knowles and colleagues at Stanford University:
Adaptive and maladaptive myelination in health and disease
