Adult myelination -- Wrapping up neuronal plasticity

(Neural Regeneration Research) The adult CNS is remarkably adaptable -- it retains the ability to generate and integrate new cells, and remodel pre-existing circuits. Intense research over the last 25 years has provided critical insight into the cell generation and differentiation potential of endogenous neural stem and progenitor cells, and has described three core CNS plasticity mechanisms.
