Casting a Wide Net: Role of Perineuronal Nets in Neural Plasticity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are unique extracellular matrix structures that wrap around certain neurons in the CNS during development and control plasticity in the adult CNS.

Environmental Enrichment Suppresses Food Seeking and Increases Inhibitory Interneuron Excitability While Decreasing Corticothalamic Neuronal Recruitment in the Prelimbic Cortex

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 62, Issue 10, November 2025.
Environmental enrichment (EE) reduces cue‐evoked sucrose seeking and is accompanied by enhanced inhibitory interneuron excitability and suppressed corticothalamic recruitment in the prelimbic cortex. Using brain slice electrophysiology, retrograde tracing and Fos assays, we show that EE increases baseline excitability of interneurons but not pyramidal ...

Manipulating the Perineuronal Net in the Deep Cerebellar Nucleus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Perineuronal nets (PNN) are a type of specialized extracellular matrix in the central nervous system. The PNN forms during postnatal development but the ontogeny of the PNN has yet to be elucidated.

Characterization of Perineuronal Nets (PNNs) in the Paraventricular Nucleus of the Hypothalamus (PVN) and their alteration in neurogenic hypertension

open access: yes
Abstract Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are key regulators of neuronal excitability, yet whether they are altered during neurogenic hypertension is unknown. Here, we mapped the developmental trajectory of PNNs in the paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN), a crucial nucleus involved in blood pressure regulation, and examined their ...

Developmental disruption of perineuronal nets in the medial prefrontal cortex after maternal immune activation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
© The Author(s) 2016. Maternal infection during pregnancy increases the risk of offspring developing schizophrenia later in life. Similarly, animal models of maternal immune activation (MIA) induce behavioural and anatomical disturbances consistent with ...

Tumor‐related epilepsy in glioma: A multidisciplinary overview

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 3621-3641, October 2025.
Abstract Seizures are a common and challenging symptom in brain tumors, affecting approximately 60% of patients. Tumor‐related epilepsy (TRE) in glioma patients requires personalized and dynamic management in a multidisciplinary environment, especially for its intricate pathophysiology and unpredictable disease evolution. This investigation provides an

Targeting Oxidative Stress and Aberrant Critical Period Plasticity in the Developmental Trajectory to Schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental disorder reflecting a convergence of genetic risk and early life stress. The slow progression to first psychotic episode represents both a window of vulnerability as well as opportunity for therapeutic intervention ...

Medial septum parvalbumin‐expressing inhibitory neurons are impaired in a mouse model of Dravet syndrome

open access: yesEpilepsia, Volume 66, Issue 10, Page 4053-4065, October 2025.
Abstract Objective Dravet syndrome (DS) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the SCN1A gene, which encodes the voltage‐gated sodium channel Nav1.1 α subunit. Experiments in animal models of DS—including the haploinsufficient Scn1a+/− mouse—have identified impaired excitability of interneurons in the hippocampus and ...

Antibody recognizing 4-sulfated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans restores memory in tauopathy-induced neurodegeneration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) are the main active component of perineuronal nets (PNNs). Digestion of the glycosaminoglycan chains of CSPGs with chondroitinase ABC or transgenic attenuation of PNNs leads to prolongation of object recognition ...

Long‐Term Memory Engrams From Development to Adulthood

open access: yesHippocampus, Volume 35, Issue 5, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Memories formed in adulthood can last a lifetime, whereas those formed early in life are rapidly forgotten through a process known as infantile amnesia. In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in understanding the memory engram—the physical trace of a memory in the brain—and how it transforms as memories evolve from recent to remote.
