Neuregulin and BDNF induce a switch to NMDA receptor-dependent myelination by oligodendrocytes.

Neuregulin and BDNF induce a switch to NMDA receptor-dependent myelination by oligodendrocytes.

Myelination is essential for rapid impulse conduction in the CNS, but what determines whether an individual axon becomes myelinated remains unknown. Here we show, using a myelinating coculture system, that there are two distinct modes of myelination, one that is independent of neuronal activity and...
