Abstract

The myelination of axons by oligodendrocytes markedly affects CNS function, but how this is regulated by neuronal activity in vivo is not known. We found that blocking synaptic vesicle release impaired CNS myelination by reducing the number of myelin sheaths made by individual oligodendrocytes during their short period of formation. We also found that stimulating neuronal activity increased myelin sheath formation by individual oligodendrocytes. These data indicate that neuronal activity regulates the myelinating capacity of single oligodendrocytes.

  • Inhibition of vesicular release from neurons to mature oligodendrocytes impairs myelination in vivo.

    “Inhibition of vesicular release from neurons to mature oligodendrocytes impairs myelination, both in vitro (Wake et al., 2015 ; Wake, Lee, & Fields, 2011 ) and in vivo (Hines, Ravanelli, Schwindt, Scott, & Appel, 2015 ; Mensch et al., 2015 ).”

    The paper reports that blocking neuronal synaptic vesicle release impaired myelination in vivo in zebrafish. But it locates the effect during oligodendrocytes’ initial period of sheath formation, not specifically in mature oligodendrocytes; it also presents direct signaling from axons to oligodendrocytes as a possible mechanism rather than an established one. The indexed passages have no page numbers. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
