A Sweet Talk: The Molecular Systems of Perineuronal Nets in Controlling Neuronal Communication
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are mesh-like structures, composed of a hierarchical assembly of extracellular matrix molecules in the central nervous system (CNS), ensheathing neurons and regulating plasticity. The mechanism of interactions between PNNs and neurons remain uncharacterized. In this review, we pose the question: how do PNNs regulate communication to and from neurons? We provide an overv...
متن کاملActivation of perineuronal net-expressing excitatory neurons during associative memory encoding and retrieval
Perineuronal nets (PNNs), proteoglycan-rich extracellular matrix structures, are thought to be expressed around inhibitory neurons and contribute to critical periods of brain function and synaptic plasticity. However, in some specific brain regions such as the amygdala, PNNs were predominantly expressed around excitatory neurons. These neurons were recruited during auditory fear conditioning an...
متن کاملIn Sickness and in Health: Perineuronal Nets and Synaptic Plasticity in Psychiatric Disorders
Rapidly emerging evidence implicates perineuronal nets (PNNs) and extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that compose or interact with PNNs, in the pathophysiology of several psychiatric disorders. Studies on schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, mood disorders, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy point to the involvement of ECM molecules such as chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, Reelin, and m...
متن کاملAggrecan glycoforms contribute to the molecular heterogeneity of perineuronal nets.
The perineuronal net forms the extracellular matrix of many neurons in the CNS, surrounding neuron cell bodies and proximal dendrites in a mesh-like structure with open "holes" at the sites of synaptic contacts. The perineuronal net is first detected late in development, approximately coincident with the transformation of the CNS from an environment conducive to neuronal growth and motility to ...
متن کاملThe Role of Perineuronal Nets in Regulating Barrel Cortex Physiology
The Role of Perineuronal Nets in Regulating Barrel Cortex Physiology by Philip Chu Advisor: Joshua C. Brumberg, Ph.D. The ability of the brain to adapt to changing environmental conditions is regulated by genetic and environmental factors. One component of the brain extracellular matrix, a scaffold of proteins and proteoglycans, tightly ensheaths the soma and proximal processes of neurons. Thes...
