Abstract

Significance: Proper communication between brain regions, via white matter tracts, allows us to carry out complex cognitive and motor tasks. Impulses traveling must arrive at relay points almost simultaneously for such communication to be effective. Myelin enables saltatory conduction of impulses and hence is a candidate for modulation of impulse conduction velocity. But myelin structure, once formed, has been considered static. In this study, we show that mature myelin structure is dynamic. The mature myelin sheath thickness and nodal gap length can be reversibly modulated to optimize the speed of axonal impulses. This modulation of myelin is regulated by exocytosis of thrombin protease inhibitors from astrocytes at the node of Ranvier.

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.
