The new paper, together with a report published earlier this year by another group showing myelin changes triggered by social isolation early in life will broaden investigations into brain plasticity, ...

Marathon brain” is real, a new study suggests. A neurologist explains why running hard temporarily reduces brain function.

“Myelin plasticity is fundamental to brain adaptation to neuronal activity, as it modifies myelin structure by increasing or decreasing the thickness of the myelin sheath. Our findings strongly ...

The researchers have called their hypothesis metabolic myelin plasticity. In the past, some neuroscientists thought the brain largely avoided burning fat for energy, even when it was stressed for ...

But myelin plasticity can contribute to neural circuit function and learning in another way—by tuning the frequency of brain-wave oscillations.

The goal is to find ways to stimulate myelin plasticity to regenerate affected nerve fibers in MS patients. MS is a chronic neurological condition that affects the central nervous system.
