Extracellular matrix inhibits structural and functional plasticity of dendritic spines in the adult visual cortex
Brain cells are immersed in a complex structure forming the extracellular matrix. The composition of the matrix gradually matures during postnatal development, as the brain circuitry reaches its adult form. The fully developed extracellular environment stabilizes neuronal connectivity and decreases...
