The paper shows that neuron-OPC synapses in white matter undergo a developmental switch from synaptic depression to facilitation, enhancing temporal precision of neurotransmission.

This study examines how aging affects oligodendrocyte progenitor cell (OPC) responses to inflammatory demyelination in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, finding that both young and aged OPCs can differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes.

The paper investigates glutamate spread in the neuropil using optical reporters and finds that glutamate can activate AMPA and NMDA receptors at distances up to 2 micrometers from the release site.
