The myelin lamella is formed by fusion of the apposed inner leaflets of the plasma membrane in glial cells, with no intervening cytoplasm (Figure 1B). Depending on the location, different glial ...

In the two days post-marathon, myelin was reduced in 12 of the 100 areas evaluated; the affected areas were involved in motor coordination, sensory integration, and emotion, regions frequently ...

In plain English? It starts eating itself. Myelin is a fatty substance that wraps around nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord, much like insulation around an electrical wire. It speeds up and ...

Recent research on marathon runners found a reduction in an important brain substance called myelin after the race. The study author explains how this may actually benefit cognitive health ...

Researchers conducted MRIs on 10 runners within 2 days of a run Post-run, myelin levels in the brain 'substantially decrease' Myelin can serve as an energy source A group of researchers studied ...

According to a study published by Nature Metabolism, marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the ...

These findings represent direct evidence that autoantibodies against a specific myelin protein mediate target membrane damage in central nervous system demyelinating disease. Figure 1: Electron ...

Research published in the Journal of Neurochemistry has detailed the role of a protein, hnRNP A1, in the formation and stability of myelin, suggesting an important impact on neurodegenerative ...

‘Scientists have discovered the crucial role of the hnRNP A1 molecule in maintaining #myelin sheath integrity. Could this be a new avenue for understanding #schizophrenia? #Neuroscience # ...
