Summary: A new five-year study explores how dopamine may drive changes in brain myelin during social isolation. Researchers will track how dopamine interacts with oligodendrocytes, the cells responsible for producing myelin and supporting neuron function. The project aims to uncover whether dopamine regulates myelin plasticity, potentially linking isolation, addiction, schizophrenia, and other conditions. The findings could open doors to treatments …
