Perineuronal Nets and Their Role in Synaptic Homeostasis

Perineuronal Nets and Their Role in Synaptic Homeostasis

Extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that are released by neurons and glial cells form perineuronal nets (PNNs) and modulate many neuronal and glial functions. PNNs, whose structure is still not known in detail, surround cell bodies and dendrites, which leaves free space for synapses to come into co...
