Oligodendrocytes‚ as other glial cells‚ are responsible to support neurons. It can be mainly found in the gray matter‚ which is the major element of CNS and composed of neuronal cells. During development‚ oligodendrocytes derived from precursors‚ which located in subventricular zone of the lateral ventrices. In the spinal cord‚ 85-90% of oligodendrocytes originate from a specific area of the ventral ventricular zone and the others arise from dorsal spinal cord. Oligodendrocytes along with Schwann
