Perineuronal nets: Cruise from a honeycomb to the safety nets
Brain Research Bulletin, 2022 The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a significant component of the brain, constituting up to 20 % of the brain volume and perform multifarious functions during development, maturation and regeneration of the central nervous system (CNS). ECM molecules assemble systematically to form a relatively rigid and unique lattice-like structure, known as ...

Diverse functions of perineuronal nets
Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 2009 Perineuronal nets represent well-organised components of the extracellular matrix, which are surrounding cell bodies, dendrites, and axon segments of a particular class of neurones as well as forming lattice-like structures. The role of perineuronal nets is not fully elucidated yet.

Longitudinal in vivo imaging of perineuronal nets
Neurophotonics, 2023 Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrix structures implicated in learning, memory, information processing, synaptic plasticity, and neuroprotection. However, our understanding of mechanisms governing the evidently important contribution of PNNs to central nervous system function is lacking.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
