Abstract
Myelination is governed by a neuron/glia interaction - whole neuron electrical stimulation enhances myelination. We integrated a compartmentalized microfluidic platform with electrical stimulation and demonstrated that subcellular activity input is sufficient to induce activity-dependent myelination.
