Title: On the role of the PeriNeuronal Net (PNN) enveloping Fast Spiking Parvalbumin (FS-PV) neocortical interneurons in long-term memory

Abstract:
In the neocortex, stimulation of FS-PV interneurons triggers gamma
oscillation, an electrical expression of long-term memory. The seminar will
describe one subclass of FS interneurons enwrapped by the PNN and containing
few specific proteases known to reshape the PNN. This observation is important
since modifying the structure of PNN affects plasticity, critical period and longterm
memory.
