Perineuronal nets of glia

K Brauer, L Werner, L Leibnitz

    Journal Fur Hirnforschung
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Perineuronal nets in the rat brain were visualized using Golgi methods, covering neurons and potentially originating from microglia. These structures may be the same as historical "Golgi nets."

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cell Biology

    Background:

    • Perineuronal nets are complex extracellular matrix structures surrounding neurons.
    • Their precise origin and composition have been debated historically.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To visualize and characterize perineuronal nets in the adult rat brain.
    • To investigate the potential cellular origin of perineuronal nets.

    Main Methods:

    • Golgi staining techniques were employed to visualize perineuronal nets.
    • Microscopic examination of rat brain tissue was performed.

    Main Results:

    • Perineuronal nets were observed in various brain regions, including telencephalic, diencephalic, and mesencephalic structures.
    • Nets ensheathed neuronal somata and proximal dendrites of diverse neuronal types.
    • Some perineuronal nets appeared to originate from microglia; in other instances, the origin was indeterminate.
    • The observed nets share characteristics with historical "Golgi nets."

    Conclusions:

    • Perineuronal nets are widespread in the rat brain, associated with various neuronal populations.
    • Microglia may contribute to the formation of some perineuronal nets.
    • The findings support the identification of perineuronal nets with historical "Golgi nets," potentially resolving earlier debates.
