Myelin-associated glycoprotein: a role in myelination and in the inhibition of axonal regeneration?

abstract：:The glial regulation of synaptic function provides important modulation of the synaptic and behavioral changes induced by drugs of abuse. In some cases, this regulation is adaptive, reducing drug-induced change, and in other cases maladaptive, contributing to the induction or maintenance of these changes. Understandin...
