Utilizing advanced imaging technologies and machine learning tools, Dr. Bergles and team investigate the brainwide distribution of myelin, a sheath that surrounds axons and influences the conduction of electrical signals within the neuronal network. Demyelination, or loss of myelin sheath, is implicated in numerous neurodegenerative diseases. Therefore, these studies lay the foundation for undersatnding of the pathological mechanisms underlying these conditions. Watch this video to learn more about this reseach.
