aAccording to microarray analysis; for genes represented by more than one probe set, the individual fold changes for each probe set are given. bIndirect link to oligodendrocyte maturation (My-EF2 can repress expression of myelin basic protein). cIndirect link to oligodendrocyte maturation (Dio2 catalyzes thyroxine to tri-iodothyronine conversion, and tri-iodothyronine triggers terminal differentiation of oligodendrocytes). P16, postnatal day 16.
