New Myelin Required to Learn a New Task
Researchers have discovered that oligodendrocytes play an active role in learning motor tasks. Rodents whose oligodendrocyte precursor cells were blocked from maturation were unable to acquire a novel motor skill.
When neuroscientists talk about the process of learning, they usually discuss...

RRMS and CIS—Baseline Characteristics
This series of radar plots details the baseline characteristics of patients in 74 clinical trials reported between 1993 and 2014 on relapsing-remitting MS and clinically isolated syndrome.
Some Astrocytes Appear to Promote Progressive MS
Researchers have identified a key enzyme in astrocytes that turns on during the progressive stage of multiple sclerosis, apparently boosting the local immune response and promoting neurodegeneration. The team is following up by testing a repurposed drug that targets the enzyme in mice and human cells.
In the brain and spinal cord, neurons are the undisputed heads of state, the...
