The Glymphatic System: A Beginner’s Guide

TL;DR: The glymphatic system is a recently discovered macroscopic waste clearance system that utilizes a unique system of perivascular tunnels, formed by astroglial cells, to promote efficient elimination of soluble proteins and metabolites from the central nervous system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Direct neuronal glucose uptake heralds activity-dependent increases in cerebral metabolism

TL;DR: It is shown, using 2-photon imaging of a near-infrared 2-deoxyglucose analogue (2DG-IR), that glucose is taken up preferentially by neurons in awake behaving mice, and the neuron is identified as the principal locus of glucose uptake as visualized by functional brain imaging.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuregulin and BDNF induce a switch to NMDA receptor-dependent myelination by oligodendrocytes.

TL;DR: Neuregulin switches oligodendrocytes between two modes of myelination: from a neuronal activity–independent mode to a myelin-increasing, neuronal activity-dependent, mechanism that involves glutamate release and NMDA receptor activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

White matter astrocytes in health and disease

TL;DR: It is suggested that specific manipulation of astrocytes could help prevent myelin pathologies and successfully restore myelin sheaths after demyelination.
