20220370804 · 2022-11-24 ·

Embodiments of the instant invention relate to applying motor learning to promote remyelination following demyelination in a subject having a condition or disease. In certain embodiments, applying motor learning alone or in combination with vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) induces the production of new and preserves surviving oligodendrocytes. In accordance with certain embodiments of the disclosure, motor learning, when properly timed, enhances oligodendrogenesis after injury and recruits mature oligodendrocytes to participate in remyelination through the generation of new myelin sheaths. In other aspects of the disclosure, VNS paired with motor learning enhances remyelination following demyelination.
