| Abstract | Myelin disorders cause cognitive dysfunction, but little is known about how abnormal myelin sheath affects neural activities at the network level. One reason for the lack is a technical difficulty in simultaneous monitoring of changes in both the axonal conduction and network activity. Then, we aimed to develop a culture device to detect myelination dependent changes in axonal conduction velocity in a neuronal network. The photolithographically fabricated device has microtunnels for guiding axons. Two microelectrodes and an oligodendrocyte (OL) culture compartment are set at each microtunnel. This configuration allows us to monitor changes in conduction velocity of axons wrapped by OLs. Neurons and OLs dissected from rat cortical tissues were cultured in the culture device. An immunocytochemical study indicated axonal growth and maturation of OL at 42 days in vitro (DIV), suggesting that neuron-OL co-culture was maintained in microtunnels. Propagating action potentials of individual axons were detected from spontaneous neural activities with a spike sorting method and their conduction velocities were examined. Conduction velocity without seeding OLs was 0.31 m/s, which was consistent with that of previous reports with unmyelinated axons. Although no apparent myelin sheath was observed in OL culture compartments, conduction delay with seeding OLs was approximately half as long as that without seeding OLs at 45 DIV. These results suggest that the culture device enables us to detect the OL-regulated changes in axonal conduction in the neuronal network. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
