Poster Presentation - Theme 5: NeuroscienceDuring the formative period of neural circuits, perineuronal nets (PN) are established to restrict plasticity of the circuit. The role of PN in vestibular plasticity can be tested by studying the emergence of negative geotaxis with postnatal maturation of the vestibular circuitry for gravity detection.
Using rats as model, we observed that negative geotaxis was mature by postnatal day (P) 9, in correlation with consolidation of PN around GABAergic neurons …postprin
