Article Abstract

The role of oligodendrocytes (OLs) extends beyond saltatory conduction to a modulatory role in neural information processing. Given this exalted role, we take first steps to frame the OL - axon interaction as a network of cells. We find that the OL - axon network has a natural encoding as a bipartite network, allowing us to determine key network properties, estimate the number of OLs or axons in various brain regions and determine the robustness of the network to random removal of cell nodes.
