Nature, Published online: 01 April 2026; doi:10.1038/s41586-026-10312-1The rate of axon ensheathment varies within individual myelinating processes, resulting in chains of myelin sheaths connected by bridges consisting of thin cytoplasmic processes that provide flexibility for myelination of highly branched axons.
