Consumption of a High-Fat Diet Alters Perineuronal Nets in the Prefrontal Cortex
A key factor in the development of obesity is the overconsumption of fatty foods, which, in addition to facilitating weight gain, alters neuronal structures within brain reward circuitry.

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

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 ...

BDNF and JNK-signalling modulate cortical interneuron and perineuronal net development: implications for schizophrenia-linked 16p11.2 duplication syndrome [PDF]
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by the interaction of genetic and environmental risk factors. One of the strongest genetic risk variants is duplication of chr.16p11.2. Schizophrenia is characterised by cortical GABAergic interneuron

Altered excitatory-inhibitory balance within somatosensory cortex is associated with enhanced plasticity and pain sensitivity in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis [PDF]
S1 IHC in pre-symptomatic and clinical-onset EAE: PV+ cell counts, PNN counts, and Iba-1+ microglia counts. A) Representative fluorescence photomicrographs of PV+ staining (low-mag) in S1 from control (CFA) and EAE animals at the pre-symptomatic stage (7–

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

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