Degradation of perineuronal nets in hippocampal CA2 explains the loss of social cognition memory in Alzheimer's disease [PDF]
Loss of social cognition memory impairs Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients to recognize family members, friends, and caregivers. We investigate the role of perineuronal nets (PNNs), specialized coats of extracellular matrix around hippocampal CA2 neurons ...

Enriched environment requires the remodeling of hippocampal perineuronal nets to trigger memory improvement in Alzheimer’s mouse model [PDF]
Summary Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a major neurodegenerative disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Mentally stimulating activities are believed to reduce cognitive decline by establishing a cognitive reserve, although the ...

Astrocytes require perineuronal nets to maintain synaptic homeostasis in mice [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are densely packed extracellular matrices that cover the cell body of fast-spiking inhibitory neurons. PNNs stabilize synapses inhibiting synaptic plasticity.

Resilience to Alzheimer's disease associates with alterations in perineuronal nets [PDF]
Some individuals show intact cognition despite the presence of neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The plasticity of parvalbumin (PV)‐containing interneurons might contribute to resilience.

Post-Stroke Recovery in Relation to Parvalbumin-Positive Interneurons and Perineuronal Nets [PDF]
Background: There is a critical time window of post-stroke neuroplasticity when spontaneous behavioral recovery occurs. Potential factors responsible for this heightened plasticity are the reduction of parvalbumin-immunoreactive (PV+) interneuron ...

Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are specialized extracellular matrix structures that surround specific neurons in the brain and spinal cord, appear during critical periods of development, and restrict plasticity during adulthood.

Age‐dependent increase of perineuronal nets in the human hippocampus and precocious aging in epilepsy [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNN) are specialized extracellular matrix (ECM) components of the central nervous system, frequently accumulating at the surface of inhibitory GABAergic interneurons.

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 [PDF]
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 ...

Hypothalamic Perineuronal Nets Are Regulated by Sex and Dietary Interventions [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are widely present in the hypothalamus, and are thought to provide physical protection and ion buffering for neurons and regulate their synaptic plasticity and intracellular signaling.

Stress Sensitization of Neurons in the Dentate Gyrus Is Dependent on Neuronal Interleukin-1 Receptor Signaling and Is Associated with Increased Synaptic Plasticity, Perineuronal Nets, and Excitatory/Inhibitory Input Imbalance [PDF]
Repeated social defeat (RSD) in mice causes sensitization of hippocampal neurons associated with enhanced contextual fear memory. Because enhanced fear memory is an integral component of posttraumatic stress disorder, the physiological basis of neuronal ...
