Pro-inflammatory signaling molecules in MS cause problems with the growth and development of myelin-making cells in the brain ...

(Medical Xpress)—A mixed background group of US researchers has found in studying chimpanzee brains, that development of myelin, the fatty sheath that covers the connections between nerve cells ...

Improved muscle control became the basis for the development of complex predatory and escape behaviour, which ultimately drove body size and vertebrate evolution. Myelin-like ensheathments of ...

Research comparing brain development in humans and our closest nonhuman primate relatives, chimpanzees, reveals how quickly myelin in the cerebral cortex grows, shedding light on the evolution of ...

January 20, 2011 — A neuroimaging technique developed by researchers in England provides new insight into normal brain myelination during the first 12 months of life. "We have noninvasively ...

Myelin development is a normal process, "but for some reason, seizures in this particular mouse model hijacks that normal process and makes it aberrant," said Dr. Dileep Nair, section head of ...

suggesting that the expression of voltage-operated calcium channels during the first steps of myelination is essential for the brain’s normal development. “If we can further enhance our understanding ...

Scientists have assumed that myelination is related to behavior and cognition development, he said. But they still do not understand how exactly these two processes are related. The study examined how ...

"Myelin development does not complete until we're in our late 20s or early 30s, which is kind of fascinating," said Michelle Monje, MD, PhD, the Milan Gambhir Professor in Pediatric Neuro-Oncology ...

The research suggests the role of CD11c-positive microglia—immune cells in the brain crucial for myelination—during infant brain development. The results, published in Communications Biology ...
