Myelin is the insulation of the central nervous system (CNS). We have demonstrated that CNS insulation is not fixed. It changes throughout life. This project aims to find out why this happens. In particular we will investigate the role of dynamic insulation in learning and memory, and examine the role of nervous system activity in promoting the addition of new insulation. This research will provide valuable insight into multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's dementia and mental health disorders.

髓鞘是中枢神经系统（CNS）的绝缘体。我们已经证明，中枢神经系统绝缘不是固定的。它在一生中不断变化。这个项目旨在找出为什么会发生这种情况。特别是，我们将研究动态绝缘在学习和记忆中的作用，并检查神经系统活动在促进新绝缘的作用。这项研究将为多发性硬化症、阿尔茨海默氏痴呆症和精神健康障碍提供有价值的见解。
