TITLE: A stress hormone may help the brain repair itself

URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/08/260814011044.htm

A surprising stress-related signal may help the brain repair itself after injury. Researchers found that myelin-producing precursor cells rapidly release the stress hormone CRH near damaged brain tissue, helping control how those cells mature and rebuild protective nerve insulation. The same system also influences brain development and the thickness of myelin later in life. The findings could offer new clues about how early-life stress contributes to psychiatric disorders.

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

Day 5: White matter in the brain significantly changes with age. Axons, the connections between neurons, are usually surrounded by an insulating layer called myelin. But not all the myelin is present at birth.

Instead, neurons become myelinated as we get older, with the prefrontal cortex being the last area to myelinate in young adulthood. That’s what people tend to refer to when they say your cortex matures around 25 years old.

Unfortunately, things go downhill from there. Myelin starts to degenerate towards later adulthood. That works on the last-in, first-out principle, with the prefrontal cortex being the first one to go.

New studies have revealed that ancient viruses, which became a part of the DNA of jawed vertebrates, played a vital role in the development of myelin. Myelin allows for swift impulse conduction without the need to increase the diameter of nerve cells. This made it possible for nerves to be packed together more closely and grow longer, which was beneficial for both larger body sizes and more complex brains.

"Notably, ESI1 triggered nuclear condensate formation of master lipid-metabolic regulators SREBP1/2, concentrating transcriptional co-activators to drive lipid/cholesterol biosynthesis. Our study highlights the potential of targeting #epigenetic silencing to enable CNS #myelin #regeneration in demyelinating diseases and #aging"

Grammy Nominees Are a Brainy Bunch: Music Rewires the Brain

Our brains are hard-wired for the benefits of music. Every time a musician practices, their brains rewire by strengthening synapses, building new neurons, and rebuilding the myelin sheath.
