Perineuronal Nets is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) are extracellular matrix structures that surround certain neurons, particularly parvalbumin interneurons, and regulate plasticity.
This page provides comprehensive information about the cell type. See the content below for detailed information.
