Hemispheric Asymmetry of Intracortical Myelin Orientation in the Mouse Auditory Cortex

Hemispheric Asymmetry of Myelin Orientation in the Mouse Auditory Cortex Academic Background The mammalian brain exhibits inherent asymmetry, which is particularly evident in the motor system and acoustic communication. For example, both mice and humans show hemispheric differences in auditory processing. This asymmetric organization allows the bra...

Mechanisms of MED23 in Regulating Oligodendrocyte Differentiation and Myelination

Cross-Disciplinary Breakthrough: How Mediator Med23 Regulates Molecular Mechanisms of Neural Myelination Background and Research Objective Myelin is the multilayered membrane structure that wraps around axons in the central nervous system (CNS), and its integrity is crucial for neural signal conduction and overall nervous system function. When myel...
