Abstract
We reveal that lipid turnover in the myelin sheath generates a fatty acid pool in oligodendrocytes that can contribute to the energy balance of white matter tracts. We also demonstrate that when glucose levels are limiting, fatty acid metabolism can support glial cell survival and the basic functional integrity of myelinated axons.
期刊介绍：
Nature Neuroscience, a multidisciplinary journal, publishes papers of the utmost quality and significance across all realms of neuroscience. The editors welcome contributions spanning molecular, cellular, systems, and cognitive neuroscience, along with psychophysics, computational modeling, and nervous system disorders. While no area is off-limits, studies offering fundamental insights into nervous system function receive priority.
The journal offers high visibility to both readers and authors, fostering interdisciplinary communication and accessibility to a broad audience. It maintains high standards of copy editing and production, rigorous peer review, rapid publication, and operates independently from academic societies and other vested interests.
In addition to primary research, Nature Neuroscience features news and views, reviews, editorials, commentaries, perspectives, book reviews, and correspondence, aiming to serve as the voice of the global neuroscience community.
