Abstract

Perineuronal nets (PN) restrict neuronal plasticity in the adult brain. We hypothesize that activity-dependent consolidation of PN is required for functional maturation of behavioral circuits. Using the postnatal maturation of brainstem vestibular nucleus (VN) circuits as a model system, we report a neonatal period in which consolidation of central vestibular circuitry for graviception is accompanied by activity-dependent consolidation of chondroitin sulfate (CS)-rich PN around GABAergic neurons in the VN. Postnatal onset of negative geotaxis was used as an indicator for functional maturation of vestibular circuits. Rats display negative geotaxis from postnatal day (P) 9, coinciding with the condensation of CS-rich PN around GABAergic interneurons in the VN. Delaying PN formation, by removal of primordial CS moieties on VN with chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) treatment at P6, postponed emergence of negative geotaxis to P13. Similar postponement was observed following inhibition of GABAergic transmission with bicuculline, in line with the reported role of PN in increasing excitability of parvalbumin neurons. We further reasoned that PN-CS restricts bioavailability of plasticity-inducing factors such as semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) to bring about circuit maturation. Treatment of VN explants with ChABC to liberate PN-bound Sema3A resulted in dendritic growth and arborization, implicating structural plasticity that delays synapse formation. Evidence is thus provided for the role of PN-CS–Sema3A in regulating structural and circuit plasticity at VN interneurons with impacts on the development of graviceptive postural control.
