Timely delivery of information is essential for proper functioning of the nervous system. Precise regulation of nerve conduction velocity is needed for correct exertion of motor skills, sensory integration and cognitive functions. I use two established model systems, the mammalian auditory brainstem and the avian auditory brainstem, to investigate the development and mechanisms of conduction velocity regulation in axons based on myelin plasticity.
