Myelin maintenance and addition regulate synaptic plasticity in the adult mouse cortex

Renee Pepper, Kalina Makowiecki, Kimberley A. Pitman, Raphael Ricci, Angela L. Nicoli, Phuong Tram Nguyen, C. Leigh Blizzard, Ben Emery, Carlie Laura Cullen, Kaylene M. Young

This study shows that myelin maintenance in adult mice affects synaptic plasticity and neuron homeostasis, while new myelin stabilizes synapses in basal dendrites.

Gluk4-containing kainate receptors regulate synaptic communication in the motor cortex and reduce axon degeneration in adult mice

Raphael Ricci, Jessica L. Fletcher, Kalina Makowiecki, Renee Pepper, Alastair J. Fortune, Carlie Laura Cullen, William M. Connelly, Jac Charlesworth, Nicholas B. Blackburn, Kimberley A. Pitman, Kaylene M. Young

Myelin and nodal plasticity modulate action potential conduction in the adult mouse brain

Carlie Laura Cullen, Renee Pepper, Mackenzie T. Clutterbuck, Kimberley A. Pitman, Viola M. J. Oorschot, Loic Auderset, Alexander D. Tang, Georg Ramm, Ben Emery, Jennifer Rodger, Renaud Jolivet, Kaylene M. Young

The paper shows that mature myelin in adult mice is plastic and can modify node of Ranvier length and periaxonal space size to adjust action potential conduction velocity and synchronicity.

Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) is a negative regulator of oligodendrocyte progenitor cell differentiation in the adult mouse brain.

Loic Auderset, Kimberley A. Pitman, Carlie Laura Cullen, Renee Pepper, Bruce V. Taylor, Lisa C Foa, Kaylene M. Young

This study shows that LRP1 inhibits OPC differentiation in adult mouse brains, and its deletion increases myelination and remyelination.
