This study maps the developmental timeline of parvalbumin interneurons and related markers in prairie voles, identifying a sensitive period for somatosensory cortex maturation linked to social touch.

This study shows that removing perineuronal nets in the rat medial prefrontal cortex reduces cocaine self-administration memory acquisition and disrupts reconsolidation when combined with novel reactivation.

The paper examines diurnal changes in perineuronal nets and parvalbumin neurons in the rat medial prefrontal cortex, finding increased PNN and PV staining intensity during the dark phase.

This study shows that cocaine memory reactivation reduces PV intensity and alters electrophysiological properties of PV FSIs in the rat medial prefrontal cortex.
