Function
- perineural nets typically assemble around a subset of fast-spiking interneurons implicated in learning & memory[1]
- perineural nets primarily surround inhibitory parvalbumin interneurons[2]
- form protective scaffolds that envelop parvalbumin-expressing GABAergic fast-spiking inhibitory interneurons
- perineural nets have neuroprotective properties
- perineural nets participate in signal transduction & in controlling neuronal activity neural plasticity
- perineural nets regulate neuronal plasticity by stabilising synapses[3]
Structure
- condensed glycosaminoglycan-rich extracellular matrix structures with heterogeneous composition but specific organization
Pathology
- degradation of perineural nets is seen in a number of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease
- an association of microglial activation & degradation of perineural nets with direct involvement of matrix-9 is suggested[3]
