My colleagues and I have been gratified by how rapidly the first
edition of Myelin has been aeeepted as a standard referenee work by
myelin researehers. This is undoubtedly the primary faetor
aecounting for the high rate of reeidivism among the authors with
respeet to preparation of a seeond edition; eleven of the original
twelve contributors were again involved. Four new authors (Wendy
Cammer, Marjorie Lees, Ute Traugott, and Seymour Greenfield) have
also eontributed to the present volume. This new edition retains
many aspects of the format of the original, even including use of
the same chapter headings. Thus, comments in the preface to the
first edition concerning the level at which material is presented
and the relationships between chapters covering the "basic" and
"c1inical" material are still applicable. Despite certain
similarities in overall organization, comparison of the present
edition with the original demonstrates that our eHorts to restriet
expansion in the length of the text were not notably successful;
the new edition is mueh lengthier than the original. Nevertheless,
the increase in text length is modest relative to the increase in
information in the seven years separating the preparation of the
two editions. Most of the material in the individual chapters has
had to be completely redone in order to include this new
information. For example, our view of the metabolism of myelin
increasingly must take cognizance of a very rapidly turning over
pool of certain of its components.
