Oligodendrocytes express synaptic proteins that modulate myelin sheath formation

Oligodendrocyte processes can detect and respond to axonal vesicular release. The authors here show in zebrafish that transsynaptic adhesion molecules, molecules that promote synapse formation and maturation in neurons, are expressed by oligodendrocytes and required for myelin sheath growth.
