Study suggests 'supportive' brain cells might trigger cognitive decline
Research indicates that oligodendrocytes—the brain cells responsible for creating myelin, which shields nerve fibers—can malfunction as we age and potentially play a role in cognitive deterioration. Testing on mice revealed that when these cells were disrupted, cognitive abilities suffered. According to experts, these findings contradict the long-held belief that oligodendrocytes strictly serve to maintain healthy brain function.
