Stanford research helped expand our understanding of myelin—once seen as static insulation, now linked to learning, memory, and disease. Learn how work from Michelle Monje🎗️ 🟦, Erin Gibson, ZucheroLab, Ben Barres, and others continues to shape the field. neuroscience.stanford.edu/news/understan…

Dr. Brad Zuchero (ZucheroLab), has received the 2025 McKnight Award (McKnight Foundation) to investigate myelin's role in Alzheimer's disease. With 6M+ Americans affected by Alzheimer's, this research might be key to understanding this devastating condition. med.stanford.edu/neurosurgery/n…

Teamed up again with Soltesz Lab to write about outside-the-box topics in the hippocampus - out now in Science Magazine. Ever heard of the fasciola cinereum? Maybe you know about ripples, but not dentate spikes. We dive into these and other cool topics science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Excited to introduce four new mouse lines described in our recent study Yihe Zhang (soon available from JAX), including two lines for studying TFEB in broader contexts (TFEB 6xMyc, JAX#041044; Rosa26-TFEBS141A;S210A-Halo, JAX#041043) and two new KI lines for myelinating OLs.

Which track do I choose: ON #FluorescenceFriday, a pair of newly formed oligodendrocytes encounter a field of neuronal axons. Later in development, they will wrap around and insulate subset of these axons

New cell-type for #FluorescenceFriday : a collection of astrocytes in the cerebral cortex

Oligodendrocytes support functional development of subcortical premotor neurons and navigation biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #biorxiv_neursci

We made the Enpp6-CreERT2 mice available from Jax: jax.org/strain/041040 and updated the premyelinating oligodendrocyte multiomic website: utswbioinformatics.shinyapps.io/scrna_preol/

Happy FluorescenceFriday from this pair of white-matter oligodendrocytes!

Ph.D. Openings — Fall 2026! If you are passionate about neuroscience, developmental biology, and working with fruit flies, our research group might be the perfect home for you. Looking forward! Thanks

Excited to share our new pre-print collab w. Das Lab! Study led by Ved Topkar brilliant MD/PhD student who used biochemistry and bioinformatics to probe the relationship between Mbp mRNA structure & transport/local translation in oligodendrocytes! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… 1/8
