Perineuronal Nets on CA2 Pyramidal Cells and Parvalbumin-Expressing Cells Differentially Regulate Hippocampal-Dependent Memory [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are a specialized extracellular matrix that surrounds certain populations of neurons, including (inhibitory) parvalbumin (PV)-expressing interneurons throughout the brain and (excitatory) CA2 pyramidal neurons in hippocampus ...

Differential Impact of Adolescent or Adult Stress on Behavior and Cortical Parvalbumin Interneurons and Perineuronal Nets in Male and Female Mice [PDF]
Background Stress has become a common public health concern, contributing to the rising prevalence of psychiatric disorders. Understanding the impact of stress considering critical variables, such as age, sex, and individual differences, is of the utmost

Perineuronal Nets and CNS Plasticity and Repair [PDF]
The extracellular matrix (ECM) of the nervous system regulates numerous events during development, from neurogenesis and gliogenesis to circuitry formation, as well as in adulthood, affecting damage responses, plasticity, and regeneration. Substantial changes in the quantity and the composition of ECM occur during development.

Circadian Rhythms of Perineuronal Net Composition [PDF]
Abstract Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrix (ECM) structures that envelop neurons and regulate synaptic functions. Long thought to be stable structures, PNNs have been recently shown to respond dynamically during learning, potentially regulating the formation of new synapses. We postulated that PNNs

Damage to the vestibular sense organs evokes static and dynamic deficits in the eye movements, posture and vegetative functions. After a shorter or longer period of time, the vestibular function is partially or completely restored via a series of ...

Perineuronal Net Dynamics in the Pathophysiology of Epilepsy [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are condensed extracellular matrix (ECM) assemblies of polyanionic chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, hyaluronan, and tenascins that primarily wrap around GABAergic parvalbumin (PV) interneurons. During development, PNN formation terminates the critical period of neuroplasticity, a process that can be reversed by experimental ...

The Perineuronal ‘Safety’ Net? Perineuronal Net Abnormalities in Neurological Disorders [PDF]
Perineuronal nets (PNN) are extracellular matrix (ECM) assemblies that preferentially ensheath parvalbumin (PV) expressing interneurons. Converging evidence indicates that PV cells and PNN are impaired in a variety of neurological disorders. PNN development and maintenance is necessary for a number of processes within the CNS, including regulation of ...

Perineuronal net degradation in epilepsy [PDF]
SummaryObjectiveWe previously reported loss of perineuronal net (PN) immunohistochemical staining around parvalbumin‐positive interneurons in the hippocampus of rats after an episode of status epilepticus (SE). We hypothesized that the loss of thePNcould alter seizure susceptibility and that matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) were candidates for ...

Primary cilia are required for the persistence of memory and stabilization of perineuronal nets
Summary: It is well established that the formation of episodic memories requires multiple hippocampal mechanisms operating on different time scales.
