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,...
