Reduction in parvalbumin expression not loss of the parvalbumin-expressing GABA interneuron subpopulation in genetic parvalbumin and shank mouse models of autism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background A reduction of the number of parvalbumin (PV)-immunoreactive (PV⁺) GABAergic interneurons or a decrease in PV immunoreactivity was reported in several mouse models of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). This includes Shank mutant mice, with SHANK

Redox dysregulation, neuroinflammation, and NMDA receptor hypofunction: A "central hub" in schizophrenia pathophysiology? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Accumulating evidence points to altered GABAergic parvalbumin-expressing interneurons and impaired myelin/axonal integrity in schizophrenia. Both findings could be due to abnormal neurodevelopmental trajectories, affecting local neuronal networks and ...

A Role for Matrix Metalloproteases in Antidepressant Efficacy

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2019
Major depressive disorder is a debilitating condition that affects approximately 15% of the United States population. Though the neurophysiological mechanisms that underlie this disorder are not completely understood, both human and rodent studies ...

Chronic silencing of subsets of cortical layer 5 pyramidal neurons has a long‐term influence on the laminar distribution of parvalbumin interneurons and the perineuronal nets

open access: yesJournal of Anatomy, Volume 246, Issue 4, Page 479-504, April 2025.
Chronic silencing of subsets of layer 5 projection neurons has distinct effects on the laminar distribution of PV interneurons and the perineuronal nets in the adult primary motor and somatosensory cortex. Abstract Neural networks are established throughout cortical development, which require the right ratios of glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons ...

Electroacupuncture Modulation of Chondroitin Sulfate Glycosaminoglycan Promotes the Repair of Damaged Spinal Cord in Rats

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Neuroscience

Prenatal valproate exposure differentially affects parvalbumin-expressing neurons and related circuits in the cortex and striatum of mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) comprise a number of heterogeneous neurodevelopmental diseases characterized by core behavioral symptoms in the domains of social interaction, language/communication and repetitive or stereotyped patterns of behavior ...

Cortical Layer‐Specific Remodelling of Parvalbumin and Perineuronal Net Networks in Alcohol Use Disorder

open access: yesNeuropathology and Applied Neurobiology, Volume 52, Issue 1, February 2026.
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 ...

Structural changes in perineuronal nets and their perforating GABAergic synapses precede motor coordination recovery post stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Background Stroke remains one of the leading causes of long-term disability worldwide, and the development of effective restorative therapies is hindered by an incomplete understanding of intrinsic brain recovery mechanisms.
