Subcellular electrical stimulation of neurons enhances the myelination of axons by oligodendrocytes.

Myelin formation has been identified as a modulator of neural plasticity. New tools are required to investigate the mechanisms by which environmental inputs and neural activity regulate myelination patterns. In this study, we demonstrate a microfluidic compartmentalized culture system with integrate...
