Показать описание
Oligodendrocytes are specialized brain cells that form wraps around the neurons. They come in many shapes and sizes - shown in this video animation are type 2, type 3, and type 4. By wrapping projections around dozens of neurons they are able to support and protect. Loaded with microtubules and tau proteins when damaged they add to scar in the brain called neurofibrillary tangles. Alzheimer's treatment is accomplished once you understand how your brain suffers damage and the loss of neurons.

Good to know where the scar in the brain comes from.
