The Effect of Hapln4 Link Protein Deficiency on Extracellular Space Diffusion Parameters and Perineuronal Nets in the Auditory System During Aging.
Title: The Effect of Hapln4 Link Protein Deficiency on Extracellular Space Diffusion Parameters and Perineuronal Nets in the Auditory System During Aging.
The results of this study suggested that aging is a critical point revealing the effect of Bral2 deficiency on extracellular space diffusion in the thalamic ventroposteromedial nucleus.
Title: A deficiency of the link protein Bral2 affects the size of the extracellular space in the thalamus of aged mice.
The efficiency of the pre-pulse inhibition of the acoustic startle reflex significantly increased in post-natal wild-type mice compared to Bral2 knock-out mice.
Title: The absence of brain-specific link protein Bral2 in perineuronal nets hampers auditory temporal resolution and neural adaptation in mice.
these results imply that Bral2-brevican interaction may play a key role in synaptic stabilization and the structural integrity of brain perineuronal nets
Title: Bral2 is indispensable for the proper localization of brevican and the structural integrity of the perineuronal net in the brainstem and cerebellum.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
