From Synaptic Plasticity and Critical Periods to Social Behavior and Stress: Getting to, and Staying in, CA2

open access: yesHippocampus, Volume 36, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Hippocampal Area CA2, with some exceptions, had long been neglected in in vivo studies, due largely to its small size, and in in vitro studies because of its general similarity to CA3 and CA1. Increasing evidence showing that CA2 was molecularly distinct led to the increased appreciation of CA2 as a separate region, and as such, that it likely

Distribution of N-Acetylgalactosamine-Positive Perineuronal Nets in the Macaque Brain: Anatomy and Implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular molecules that form around neurons near the end of critical periods during development. They surround neuronal cell bodies and proximal dendrites.

Age Impacts Perineuronal Net Density in the Somatosensory Genital Cortex Independently of Gonadal Steroid Hormones [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
A hallmark of pubertal development is the rise in gonadal hormone secretions and the subsequent onset of sexual behavior. The size of the somatosensory genital cortex increases in response to both this rise in gonadal steroid hormones and sexual ...

The Role and Modulation of Spinal Perineuronal Nets in the Healthy and Injured Spinal Cord [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Rather than being a stable scaffold, perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a dynamic and specialized extracellular matrix involved in plasticity modulation. They have been extensively studied in the brain and associated with neuroprotection, ionic buffering, and ...

The critical role of extracellular matrix in Alzheimer's disease

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue S1, December 2025.
Abstract Background In central nervous system, all components are enveloped by the extracellular matrix (ECM), regulating microenvironmental homeostasis and neuronal development. The condensed cartilage‐like ECM called perineuronal nets (PNNs), mainly surrounding parvalbumin‐expressing (PV+) fast‐firing GABAergic interneurons, are crucial to synaptic ...

BDNF and JNK-signalling modulate cortical interneuron and perineuronal net development: implications for schizophrenia-linked 16p11.2 duplication syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
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

Role of perineuronal nets in Alzheimer's Disease‐associated social memory impairment

open access: yesAlzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue S1, December 2025.
Abstract Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting approximately 55 million people worldwide. Key pathological features of AD include the accumulation of beta‐amyloid plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau tangles.

How the forebrain transitions to adulthood: developmental plasticity markers in a long-lived rodent reveal region diversity and the uniqueness of adolescence

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience
Maturation of the forebrain involves transitions from higher to lower levels of synaptic plasticity. The timecourse of these changes likely differs between regions, with the stabilization of some networks scaffolding the development of others.

Intervertebral Disc Proteoglycans: Multifunctional Tissue Stabilizing and Instructional Cell Regulatory Proteins That Control Tissue Homeostasis

open access: yesJOR SPINE, Volume 8, Issue 4, December 2025.
Matrix and cell‐associated proteoglycans are important tissue‐stabilizing, weight‐bearing, and tension‐resisting proteins in the intervertebral disc. Their glycosaminoglycan components have growth factor binding and cell‐instructive properties that allow cells to regulate tissue composition and function.
