Authors Dankovich TM, Rizzoli SO Journal Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience Citation Front Cell Neurosci. 2022 Mar 31;16:854897. Abstract The extracellular matrix (ECM) stabilizes neural circuits and synapses in the healthy brain, while also retaining the ability to be remodeled, to allow synapses to be plastic. A well-described mechanism for ECM

Authors Dankovich TM, Rizzoli SO Journal Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience Citation Front Synaptic Neurosci. 2022 Mar 8;14:854956. Abstract In the adult brain, synapses are tightly enwrapped by lattices of the extracellular matrix that consist of extremely long-lived molecules. These lattices are deemed to stabilize synapses, restrict the reorganization of their
