Abstract
A recent study by Tran et al. (Tran LN, Loew SK, Franco SJ. J Neurosci 43: 6854-6871, 2023) investigated the cellular processes underlying the timing and regulation of oligodendrocyte production, focusing on the role of Notch signaling in the dorsal forebrain of mouse embryos. They found that although Notch signaling is required to specify oligodendrocyte precursor cell fate during embryonic development, overexpression prevents oligodendrogenesis through several mechanisms. This critical review highlights their findings and offers suggestions for future research investigating the precise spatiotemporal control of Notch signaling throughout the development of the central nervous system.
