The original version of this Article contained errors in Figure 5, where data and statistical results shown in panels C and D were based on a previous analysis which did not reflect the aggregation of image data points to individual brain slices.


As a result, the legend of Figure 5


“Sustained inhibition of neuronal activity reduces myelination of cerebellar white matter. (A,B) Maximum projection images from representative control (A) and TTX (B) treated cerebellar slices showing immunofluorescent signals for anti-NF200 (Ai,Bi) anti-MBP (Aii,Bii), and co-localisations used to quantify myelination (Aiii,Biii). (C) Quantification of anti-NF200 signals. Mean NF200 pixel fraction is reduced by TTX (Control 20.4 ± 0.5, TTX 17.7 ± 0.5). (D) Average MBP/NF200 ratios normalized against the NF200 signal are significantly reduced by TTX (Control 0.4 ± 0.02, TTX 0.29 ± 0.02). Scale bars in (A) and (B) 20 µm. * and *** Significance P < 0.05 and P < 0.001, respectively. Data expressed as means ± SEM.”


now reads:

In addition, the part label B has been corrected to ‘Bi’.


The original Figure 5 and its accompanying legend appear below.
