Role of myelin plasticity in oscillations and synchrony of neuronal activity

Highlights • Conduction delays in neural synchrony and oscillations are considered. • Small delays have significant effects. • Regulating conduction velocity through activity-dependent changes in myelin could provide a novel form of nervous system plasticity.
