Figure 3. Oligodendrocytes are highly stable in the adult cortex.
a, Maximal intensity projection images of oligodendrocytes in the somatosensory cortex of a Mobp-EGFP mouse (P365; depth= 45–50 μm). Images were acquired weekly for 50 days. b, Montage of 0 (magenta) and 50 (green) day time points. Oligodendrocyte cell body position remains unchanged. c, Quantification of oligodendrocyte number over 50 days in >P365 mice. (n = 5 mice; cells = 641). d, Quantification of new or lost oligodendrocytes over 50 days in >P365 mice (n = 5 mice).
