Too much stress suppresses glial cell division — and glial cells take care of myelinization at developmental plateaus (myelin is the capstone for a neuron and facilitates communication with other neurons). (psychologytoday.com)
Using the mouse as an experimental model, LMU neurobiologist PD Dr. Conny Kopp - Scheinpflug and her research group have now demonstrated that the activity of nerve cells in the auditory system has a direct effect on myelinization — higher levels of activity correlate with the formation of thicker myelin sheaths.

GS showed genome - wide significant slope decrease by — 3.86 (95 % CI: — 4.64 to — 3.07, p < 2 × 10 — 16) per standard deviation of the GS for 6 SNPs mapping to genes involved in neuronal development and signaling, axonal myelinization, and glutamatergic / GABA neurotransmission.
