Perineuronal Nets in Spinal Motoneurones: Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycan around Alpha Motoneurones [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrix structures surrounding neuronal sub-populations throughout the central nervous system, regulating plasticity.

The altered expression of perineuronal net elements during neural differentiation
Background Perineuronal nets (PNNs), which are localized around neurons during development, are specialized forms of neural extracellular matrix with neuroprotective and plasticity-regulating roles.

Cocaine-induced plasticity in the cerebellum of sensitised mice [PDF]
Rationale Prior research has accumulated a substantial amount of evidence on the ability of cocaine to produce short- and long-lasting molecular and structural plasticity in the corticostriatal-limbic circuitry. However, traditionally, the cerebellum

Perineuronal Nets and Their Role in Synaptic Homeostasis [PDF]
Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that are released by neurons and glial cells form perineuronal nets (PNNs) and modulate many neuronal and glial functions. PNNs, whose structure is still not known in detail, surround cell bodies and dendrites, which leaves free space for synapses to come into contact.

Oxidative stress-driven parvalbumin interneuron impairment as a common mechanism in models of schizophrenia. [PDF]
Parvalbumin inhibitory interneurons (PVIs) are crucial for maintaining proper excitatory/inhibitory balance and high-frequency neuronal synchronization.

Evidence is strong that, in addition to fine motor control, there is an important role for the cerebellum in cognition and emotion. The deep nuclei of the mammalian cerebellum also contain the highest density of perineural nets—mesh-like structures that ...

Comparative analysis of the methods for quantitative study of the perineuronal net microstructure
Perineuronal nets (PNN) are a special and highly structured type of the CNS extracellular matrix. In past few years, the important role of PNN in the normal physiology of the CNS and the changes in their expression associated with some pathologies have ...

Fast oscillatory activity in the anterior cingulate cortex: dopaminergic modulation and effect of perineuronal net loss. [PDF]
Dopamine release in the prefrontal cortex plays a critical role in cognitive function such as working memory, attention and planning. Dopamine exerts complex modulation on excitability of pyramidal neurons and interneurons, and regulates excitatory and ...
