Abstract excerpt
The Browman-Wyse (BW) rat is a mutant with structural defects of the visual system, including a failure of the proximal (retinal) end of the optic nerve to myelinate. This latter abnormality is correlated with an absence of CAII+ oligodendrocytes, but we have previously shown that astrocytes are...
