Distribution of N-Acetylgalactosamine-Positive Perineuronal Nets in the Macaque Brain: Anatomy and Implications

Figure 12

Perineuronal nets in the developing cerebellar nucleus. Perineuronal nets (stained with WFA, green) accrue around neurons in the cerebellar nuclei (stained with avidin, pink) between (a) fetal day 145, (b) postnatal day 5, (c) postnatal day 90, and (d) the adult animal. (e) shows the number of neurons surrounded by nets in (a)–(d). (f) shows the width of PNNs around cells in (a)–(d). Scale bars in (a)–(d) = 100 μm.
