Reorganization of Spinal Cord Microarchitecture by Bioluminescent Optogenetic and Rehabilitative Interventions [PDF]
Spinal cord injury (SCI) induces persistent locomotor deficits that are closely associated with maladaptive structural plasticity of spinal neuronal circuits.

Cortical Layer-Specific Remodelling of Parvalbumin and Perineuronal Net Networks in Alcohol Use Disorder. [PDF]
Remodelling of perineuronal nets on cortical parvalbumin neurons in layers IV–VI occurs in human alcohol use disorder, suggests reduced plasticity in cortical output circuits driving habitual behaviour. ABSTRACT Background Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a chronically relapsing condition marked by a pathological shift in behaviour, where excessive ...

High-intensity interval training remodels perineuronal nets in the medial prefrontal cortex to drive microglial polarization and alleviate osteoarthritis pain [PDF]
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a leading cause of chronic pain and disability, yet the mechanisms linking central neuroinflammation to pain persistence remain poorly defined.

Neonatal Zika virus infection causes transient perineuronal net degradation
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) form a specialized extracellular matrix that predominantly surrounds parvalbumin (PV)-expressing GABAergic inhibitory interneurons and help regulate neuronal activity. Their formation early in the postnatal period is regulated by

Region-Specific Alterations of Perineuronal Net Expression in Postmortem Autism Brain Tissue
Genetic variance in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is often associated with mechanisms that broadly fall into the category of neuroplasticity. Parvalbumin positive neurons and their surrounding perineuronal nets (PNNs) are important factors in critical ...

Neurons ensheathed by perineuronal nets are prone to hyperphosphorylation of tau protein in the hibernating Syrian hamster brain [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a specialized form of neuronal extracellular matrix that often ensheath highly active cells, such as parvalbumin-positive (PV+) interneurons.

Nrg1 regulates cortical wiring and motor recovery upon traumatic injury [PDF]
IntroductionTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of disability, yet molecular mechanisms supporting cortical repair remain poorly defined. While Neuregulin 1 (Nrg1) is essential for cortical development, its role in traumatic cortical injury ...

Chondroitin Sulfate Proteoglycans in CNS Development and Pathophysiology. [PDF]
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are critical components of the extracellular matrix in the central nervous system (CNS). In the developing CNS, CSPGs regulate neural precursor cells, neuronal migration, axon guidance, synapse organization, and peri‐neuronal net assembly.

Sustained diabetes remission induced by FGF1 involves a shift in transcriptionally distinct AgRP neuron subpopulations [PDF]
In rodent models of type 2 diabetes, a single intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) induces sustained remission of hyperglycemia. Overactive agouti-related peptide (AgRP) neurons, located in the hypothalamic arcuate
