N-acetylgalactosamine positive perineuronal nets in the saccade-related-part of the cerebellar fastigial nucleus do not maintain saccade gain. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Perineuronal nets (PNNs) accumulate around neurons near the end of developmental critical periods. PNNs are structures of the extracellular matrix which surround synaptic contacts and contain chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans.

, 2020 Aging takes a toll on all aspects of one’s body, including the brain. Deficits in cognitive function, which are associated with normal brain aging, have been seen in both human and macaque models.

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019 Environmental enrichment can dramatically affect both the development and function of neural circuits. This is accomplished, at least in part, by the regulation of inhibitory cellular networks and related extracellular matrix glycoprotein structures ...

The Role of Perineuronal Nets in Learning and Memory [PDF]
, 2018 The balance between stability and plasticity in the brain determines our ability to learn. A key molecular regulator of this balance includes perineuronal nets.

Otx2-PNN Interaction to Regulate Cortical Plasticity
Neural Plasticity, 2016 The ability of the environment to shape cortical function is at its highest during critical periods of postnatal development. In the visual cortex, critical period onset is triggered by the maturation of parvalbumin inhibitory interneurons, which ...

Calretinin as a marker for premotor neurons involved in upgaze in human brainstem
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2015 Eye movements are generated by different premotor pathways. Damage to them can cause specific deficits of eye movements, such as saccades. For correlative clinico-anatomical post-mortem studies of cases with eye movement disorders it is essential to ...

Cortical reorganization during adolescence: What the rat can tell us about the cellular basis
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2020 The human cortex, particularly the prefrontal cortex, decreases in volume during adolescence which indicates considerable pruning. There is consistent evidence from human, monkey and rat tissue that synapses, dendritic spines and dendrites are pruned ...

Scientific Reports, 2022 Postnatal hippocampal neurogenesis has been demonstrated to affect learning and memory in numerous ways. Several studies have now demonstrated that increased neurogenesis can induce forgetting of memories acquired prior to the manipulation of ...
