“…OPCs show no response to depolarization in the first wave of OPC proliferation in embryonic development in the forebrain, with responses not observed in OPCs until P5 ( Ziskin et al, 2007 ), although there are responses to depolarization in the spinal cord, see Osterstock et al (2018) . However, exposure to glutamate induces mEPSCs in OPCs both in very early postnatal development and into maturity in the forebrain and spinal cord, ( De Biase et al, 2010 ; Spitzer et al, 2019 ; Tsata et al, 2019 ), and in both gray ( Bergles and Jahr, 2000 ; Mangin et al, 2008 ), and white matter ( Kukley et al, 2007 ; Ziskin et al, 2007 ; Káradóttir et al, 2008 ; Etxeberria et al, 2010 ). The degree of response to glutamate differs greatly between OPCs, pre-OLs, and OLs.…”
