Molecular Profiles of Pyramidal Neurons in the Superior Temporal Cortex in Schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Disrupted synchronized oscillatory firing of pyramidal neuronal networks in the cerebral cortex in the gamma frequency band (i.e., 30–100 Hz) mediates many of the cognitive deficits and symptoms of schizophrenia.

Restoring vision in adult amblyopia by enhancing plasticity through deletion of the transcriptional repressor REST

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Visual cortical plasticity is high during early life, but gradually decreases with development. This is due to the Otx2-driven maturation of intracortical inhibition that parallels the condensation of extracellular matrix components into ...

The Mechanisms of Chondroitin Sulphate Lyases Treatment in Promotion of Axonal Growth [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Poster PresentationIn Injured nerves, chondroitin sulphate (CS) is upregulated forming barriers with astrocytes/fibroblasts and other extracellular matrix molecules, and thereby hampering nerve regeneration.

Structural and Functional Aberrations in the Cerebral Cortex of Tenascin-C Deficient Mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin-C (TNC) has been implicated in neural development and plasticity but many of its functions in vivo remain obscure. Here we addressed the question as to whether the constitutive absence of TNC in mice affects

Glycosylation of a CNS-specific extracellular matrix glycoprotein, tenascin-R, is dominated by O-linked sialylated glycans and "brain-type” neutral N-glycans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
As a member of the tenascin family of extracellular matrix glycoproteins, tenascin-R is located exclusively in the CNS. It is believed to play a role in myelination and axonal stabilization and, through repulsive properties, may contribute to the lack of

Neuroplasticity and amblyopia: vision at the balance point [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Purpose of review: New insights into triggers and brakes of plasticity in the visual system are being translated into new treatment approaches which may improve outcomes not only in children, but also in adults.

Perineuronal Net Microscopy: From Brain Pathology to Artificial Intelligence

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences
Perineuronal nets (PNN) are a special highly structured type of extracellular matrix encapsulating synapses on large populations of CNS neurons. PNN undergo structural changes in schizophrenia, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, post-traumatic conditions, and some other brain disorders.

Analysis of perineuronal net morphology and perineuronal synaptic reorganization during stroke recovery [PDF]

open access: yes
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are specialized, mesh-like structures of the brain's extracellular matrix (ECM) that enwrap parvalbumin-positive (PV+) interneurons in the cortex. Despite their known role in neuroplasticity regulation, the limited resolution of conventional microscopy hindered quantitative analysis of PNN morphology.

A type-5 metabotropic glutamate receptor-perineuronal net axis shapes the function of cortical GABAergic interneurons in chronic pain

open access: yesJournal of Anesthesia, Analgesia and Critical Care
Parvalbumin-positive (PV+) interneurons (basket and chandelier cells) regulate the firing rate of pyramidal neurons in the cerebral cortex and play a key role in the generation of network oscillations in the cerebral cortex.
