Oligodendrocyte (partial)

This glial cell type extends its plasma membrane to produce the myelin sheet that wraps around neurons, thereby enhancing axonal signal transmission. They can also provide metabolic support. Oligodendrocytes extend several thin processes in order to myelinate axons. Unfortunately, due to their thinness, these are often cut off in our dataset. As you can see in the example, one of the processes creates a loop.  In the raw data, you can see that this is where the process connects to the myelin sheet wrapped around a GPi axon.
