Induction of sodium channel clustering by oligodendrocytes.

Nature - 17 Apr 1997

Kaplan M R, Meyer-Franke A, Lambert S, Bennett V, Duncan I D, Levinson S R, Barres B A

Abstract excerpt

As oligodendrocytes wrap axons of the central nervous system (CNS) with insulating myelin sheaths, sodium channels that are initially continuously distributed along axons become segregated into regularly spaced gaps in the myelin called nodes of Ranvier. It is not known whether the regular spacing of nodes results from regularly spaced glial contacts or is instead intrinsically specified by the axonal...
