The cellular component assembly that is part of the initial shaping of the component during its developmental progression. Formation of the junction between an axon and the glial cell that forms the myelin sheath. Paranodal junctions form at each paranode, i.e. at the ends of the unmyelinated nodes of Ranvier. The process by which myelin sheaths are formed and maintained around neurons. Oligodendrocytes in the brain and spinal cord and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system wrap axons with compact layers of their plasma membrane. Adjacent myelin segments are separated by a non-myelinated stretch of axon called a node of Ranvier. A cellular process that results in the aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a cell junction. The aggregation, arrangement and bonding together of a set of components to form a junction between cells. A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a cell-cell junction. A cell-cell junction is a specialized region of connection between two cells. The process by which the wraps of cell membrane that constitute myelin are laid down around an axon in the central or peripheral nervous system.
