Journal Article
Myelin degeneration and diminished myelin renewal contribute to age-related deficits in memory
2020
Overview
Cognitive decline remains an unaddressed problem for the elderly. We show that myelination is highly active in young mice and greatly inhibited in aged mice, coinciding with spatial memory deficits. Inhibiting myelination by deletion of Olig2 in oligodendrocyte precursor cells impairs spatial memory in young mice, while enhancing myelination by deleting the muscarinic acetylcholine receptor 1 in oligodendrocyte precursor cells, or promoting oligodendroglial differentiation and myelination via clemastine treatment, rescues spatial memory decline during aging.Wang et al. show that myelination is greatly inhibited in aged brains. Enhancing myelination by ablation of M1R in OPCs or clemastine treatment promotes oligodendroglial differentiation and consequently rescues spatial memory decline during aging.
