In a recent study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers in the United States pinpointed and evaluated environmental chemicals that hinder oligodendrocyte development through varied ...

Oligodendrocyte Precursor Cells, or OPCs (the purple and green blobs above), prune unneeded synapses (the silver streaks) in the brain’s visual cortex in response to new information and experiences.

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few brain cell types that continue to be produced in the adult ...
