Perineuronal Nets in Spinal Motoneurones: Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycan around Alpha Motoneurones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
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

open access: yesCellular & Molecular Biology Letters, 2018
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]

open access: yes, 2015
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]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
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]

open access: yes, 2017

The Role of Cerebellar Intrinsic Neuronal Excitability, Synaptic Plasticity, and Perineuronal Nets in Eyeblink Conditioning

open access: yesBiology
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

open access: yesУчёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Естественные науки, 2022
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]

open access: yes, 2014
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 ...

Maturation of PNN and ErbB4 Signaling in Area CA2 during Adolescence Underlies the Emergence of PV Interneuron Plasticity and Social Memory

open access: yesCell Reports, 2019
Summary: Adolescence is a vulnerable period characterized by major cognitive changes. The mechanisms underlying the emergence of new cognitive functions are poorly understood.
