Filtering property of myelinated internode can change neural information representability and might trigger a compensatory action during demyelination

In this paper, for the first time, we showed that an Internode Segment (INS) of a myelinated axon acts as a lowpass filter, and its filter characteristics depend on the number of myelin turns.

Developmental exposure to domoic acid targets reticulospinal neurons and leads to aberrant myelination in the spinal cord

Harmful algal blooms (HABs) produce neurotoxins that affect human health. Developmental exposure of zebrafish embryos to the HAB toxin domoic acid (DomA) causes myelin defects, loss of reticulospinal ...
