Abstract
None:
In this issue of Neuron, Li et al.1 leverage evolutionary genomics to investigate how animals native to high-altitude environments maintain white matter integrity under chronic hypoxia. They report a fortuitous mutation in retinol saturase enriched in mammalian species at high altitude that enhances central nervous system myelination.
