Left: An example image of a filled PV interneuron showing putative autapses with white arrows. Note that all autapses are present in close distance to the soma. Right: Pie charts depicting the percentage of cells showing (1) both structural and physiological autapses, (2) no structural nor physiological autapses, and (3) only structural autapses. Note that only mice that underwent juvenile demyelination have PV interneurons which show structural autapses but no autaptic response.
What role does #myelination play in #PrefrontalCortex development? This study shows that juvenile #demyelination disrupts PV #interneuron firing & self-inhibition, revealing a developmental window where myelination is essential for long-term cortical function @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4mI4lVO

"The hope is that if we understand how this gene facilitates #myelination, then we can develop therapies that restore or promote myelin formation—not just for this rare disorder, but also for diseases like #MultipleSclerosis." medicalxpress.com/news/2025-07...

I spent a fantastic morning presenting some of my PhD work at a session on adult #neurogenesis and central #myelination at #MNS2025 ! This was a great opportunity to share and discuss ideas and research progress.

Super interesting article. Having recently stumbled inadvertently into the area of #axon #growth / #myelination, I am amazed by how little we know... or am I looking in the wrong place?
