Insulating sheaths of myelin accelerate neuronal communication in the mammalian brain. Oligodendrocytes that produce myelin are generated throughout life to gradually increase myelin coverage, but these dynamics have not been …
Congratulations Pat! The Emerging Research Grant will expand Pat’s work on the emergence of tonotopically organized spontaneous activity in the brain across hearing loss models. By understanding where and how …
Oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) are glial progenitor cells responsible for differentiating into oligodendrocytes that produce new myelin during learning (adaptive myelination) and also regenerate myelin lost through injury or disease. …
Congratulations Tiger!!! Tiger received the Hans J. Prochaska research award as part of the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine’s Young Investigators’ Day Awards. Tiger’s award recognized his immense body …
Oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) are highly dynamic, widely distributed glial cells of the central nervous system responsible for generating myelinating oligodendrocytes throughout life. However, the rates of OPC proliferation and …
