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

<div>
                (a) Perineuronal nets in ventral and dorsal horns of the spinal cord. A composite image of perineuronal nets (stained with WFA) and neurons (stained with <i>α</i>-NeuN) is superimposed on the left of a schematic of the cervical spinal cord. (b) Perineuronal nets (WFA+, green) are more prevalent around neurons (NeuN, pink) in the ventral spinal cord (middle panels) than in the dorsal spinal cord (top panels). Cells surrounded by PNNs are often ChAT+, putative primary motoneurons (bottom panels). Scale bars = 200 <i>μ</i>m.</div>
