Myelin is essential for normal brain function, and alterations in myelin are increasingly implicated as a mechanism for learning. The importance of myelin is evident in diseases where damage to myelin leads to physical and cognitive disabilities. Uniquely within the central nervous system, myelin can regenerate; but this often fails, causing sustained clinical deficits. This lecture will cover the progress made in understanding myelination, with a focus on activity-dependent myelination, and explore how the underlying mechanisms of myelin plasticity may underpin myelin regeneration.
