Myelin: Wrapped up

Nature Reviews Neuroscience 19, 254 (2018). doi:10.1038/nrn.2018.36 Author: Sian Lewis In myelination, oligodendrocyte processes enwrap sections of axons termed internodal regions. Little is known about how newly generated oligodendrocytes integrate into mature existing circuits or how environmental changes affect myelination. Hill et al. used spectral confocal reflectance microscopy to monitor oligodendrocyte production and axon myelination
