Host: Janine Knauer-Arloth

Abstract:
This talk will present data generated with well-characterized human brain samples showing that childhood abuse has lasting consequences on perineuronal nets in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex; a phenomenon hypothesized to be mediated by glial cells, namely microglia, based on recent (unpublished) results.
