Neural stem cell treatment was safe and significantly boosted myelin repair in spinal cord lesions in a mouse model of MS, ...

While comparing neurons and transistors is a convenient metaphor (and not completely out of left field), the brain is ...

Researchers have identified structural abnormalities at the myelin-axon interface in Alzheimer's that may hinder electrical signaling.

Therefore, myelin sheaths transform the axon into an ideal transmission line and, with the help of a diffraction grating from Ranvier nodes, into an interference filter of the spike wave packet ...

While a neuron consists of a cell nucleus, synaptic vesicles, dendrite, axon, and myelin sheath in some situations, the business model consists of activities, value, and financial aspects including ...

The destruction of myelin sheaths—demyelination—can occur in the context of brain inflammation and can lead to cognitive, movement and other neurological problems.

Multiple sclerosis, a neuroinflammatory disease that affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, causes a loss of myelin, the fatty sheath that covers nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

Demyelinating diseases are any conditions that damage the protective coating on nerve cells, the myelin sheath. Some common demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system include multiple ...

Biologically plausible levels of myelin dystrophy induce substantial working memory impairment in a computational model of brain aging across two spatial and temporal scales.

Abstract Normal aging leads to myelin alterations in the rhesus monkey dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), which are positively correlated with degree of cognitive impairment. It is hypothesized ...

New research shows certain cell and neuron connections in the brain and spinal cord may be key to formation of myelin, which is lost in MS.
