This study shows that adolescent seizures increase oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation, reduce mature oligodendrocyte numbers, and impair myelination and neuron-OPC connectivity.

This study shows that Shh from mossy cells supports NSC pool maintenance after seizures and in aging by promoting neurogenesis and NSC self-renewal.

This study shows that neuronal activity influences OPC activation, synapse formation onto OPCs, and the balance of excitatory and inhibitory synapses.
