Glia: Motor learning with oligodendrocytes

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 17, 604 (2016). doi:10.1038/nrn.2016.122 Author: Sian Lewis Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are produced throughout life and are required for motor learning, but their role in this process is unclear. Within 2–3 hours of beginning a motor-learning task, mice lacking the transcription factor MYRF (myelin regulator factor) showed reduced levels of new oligodendrocytes
